Windows 10: setting email default application

Using Windows 10 with Brother MFC-J680DW printer/scanner and cannot set default email application. I've tried multiple suggestions and google to no avail. I use a gmail account for email.

email will not set as a default

I just got windows 10 and I can't get either of my 2 email accounts to set as the default. I am trying to get either Windows Mail or Windows Outlook to be my default but neither will work. I have gone to control panel, set defaults, but the only mail
listed in the defaults list is Windows Mail. I have set it as the default but when I try to send a picture via email it tells me there is no default email account. (in the default list it shows Windows Mail as being the default mail) If I right click on
a photo in My Pictures folder I can't use the feature there to send a photo with email either. I finally decided to open a Outlook account to see if that would work but it is not in the list of defaults to choose from. Help! I have tried for days to do
this. The emails work good for mail but as I said, I can't send a photo.

 

Pop up : Microsoft outlook 2016 "either there is no default email client

Hi Muhammad,

It's possible that you're getting this error message because the system needs to set a default email client. Just to verify, which mail application are you using to access your email account?

In the meantime, we suggest that you set the Mail app as a default email client on your computer for us to isolate the issue further. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click on Start, search Control Panel and click the first result.
• Select on Programs and click Default Programs.
  
• Click Set your default programs.
• In the Programs section, click on Mail and select Set this program as default, then click
  OK.
• Close the Default Program window and check if the issue has been resolve.

We’ll keep an eye out for your response.
