Windows 10: Telnet Not in Default Apps

Hello, I am trying to be able to telnet to the nodes on my eve-ng vm running on my windows 10 laptop but telnet does not appear in the default apps. I have enabled telnet client and restarted my laptop but telnet still does not appear in the default apps. What am I doing wrong?


Pics for evidence.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

 

Unable to assign XShell application to URL: Telnet protocol

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you are unable to associate XShell application to URL: Telnet. You may go ahead and try adding the program using Registry Editor and see if that helps.



Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.



Follow the steps to take backup of registry.




Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open Run dialog box.
   
2. Type regedit and click on OK.
   
3. Now, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\telnet\shell\open\command
   
4. On the right pane, double click on the (Default) value and change the file location with the location of the program that you want to associate.
   
5. Close Registry editor and restart the computer.
   

If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on Telnet to assist you with the appropriate details.

Can't change default telnet app Window 10

Hi everyone,

I can't change the default programs to open a telnet url. I try to change in "Choose default apps by protocols" but no way to change to other programs, just "Look for an app in the Store" while I want to change it to my installed program. Need help?
