    Program I want to set as default does not show up under set Defaults by app


    I want to set Visual Studio Code as my default code editor, as well as xnviewmp as the default photo viewer. But both of them, as well as a whole lot of others, don't show up in Default Apps. How can I make them showing up under Default apps?

    :)

    Control Panel then switch view to small icons.

    Click Default Programs > Associate a file type with a program.
    fFnd file types already associated to whatever your default browser is and change them.

    Program I want to set as default will not show up under Default Prog.

    Hello all...

    There have a whole host of this type of question registered in the past. But this one - my case - has thrown me for a loop.

    I've been trying to select Firefox as my default Windows 10 browser program (I used to be able to do it) - but something has happened as a result of the last Windows update that changed everything.

    Now my Default Program window (drop down list) does not show some of the programs I've chosen as Default in the past.

    For example, even though the Default Pograms list for Browser does not show Firefox in the drop down window, I then went into the link below it that shows "Choose Default Apps by File Type."

    While there I changed HTM and HTML to Firefox. Normally, this would result in the program then showing up under default apps - but now it doesn't. I also changed two other settings to Firefox in the "Choose Default Apps by File Type" section, but that doesn't do it either.

    So what occurs now is that whenever I click on a link - let's say it's in an email - it wants to bring up the Edge browser.

    Are there any other areas within Windows 10 where I can make adjustments to ensure that the program(s) I want to set as default - i.e. like in the browser section - will show up in the drop down list?

    You can't get to where you need to be from here:


    Program I want to set as default does not show up under set Defaults by app [​IMG]


    You need to paste: C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966} -Microsoft.DefaultPrograms\pageDefaultProgram into a Run box to get here:

    Then it'll show up here:
