    Setting Default Apps, broken


    Windows 10 will not let me set a default app for photo viewer.


    When I go in and set it, it works for about 10-15 minutes, max. Then it defaults to the Windows Photo Viewer which is not such a great program.


    How do I set the default viewer to stay the program I choose?

    :)

    Cannot set "Calendar" as default app

    As everyone here is trying to tell you, you CANNOT do that.

    It is "broken" and needs a fix from Microsoft.
