    setting default apps from command line?


    in win7, after installation and setting the correct file associations, the correct program would start upon double clicking

    in win10 however, it popups wanting you to set a ?default app?. ive seen this happen for klite codec pack, firefox, utorrent

    i do unattended installations so i hope its possible to programmatically select default apps.

    :)

    How can I get back my file associations after Creators update?

    Hi,

    The Default Apps setting is not exclusively new to Windows 10. To address your concern, follow these steps to configure which programs open which files, links, and protocols in your Windows 10 device:

    • Press the Windows key.
    • Click on Settings.
    • In Settings, click on the System icon, and scroll down to
      Default Apps in the left-hand side menu.
    • On the Default Apps window, you can customize the applications that you want to set as a default app.
    • Click on Choose default apps by protocol.
    • Under Choose default apps by protocol window, you can customize
      the commands that you would want routed to Windows applications.
      Examples of protocol configurations include actions like a specific keyboard command launching into the Windows Search feature, links that contain content from
      MSN channeling into Windows apps.
    If further assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reply on this thread.

    Chrome opens automatically after start/rebooting on Win10

    What are you talking about? There is no command line! Just go into the settings than default apps and change the default browser. Piece of cake.
