Windows 10: Telnet not showing in default app setting

Telnet not showing in default app setting

:)

 

Telnet Not in Default Apps

Telnet works fine from the commandline. It's enabled in Windows options, and I can run it without issue.

The problem is I can't associate it with the TELNET protocol under default apps. That's because TELNET isn't even an option that I can assign a program to. It's been removed from the list of protocols that can be assigned. Protocols like SCP, FTP, SSH
are still there, with apps assigned to each. But TELNET, which has always been there, is no longer in the list.

 

Telnet Not in Default Apps

Telnet is an app and a protocol.

I upgraded my Windows 10 from home to pro. Now telnet is not listed in the default apps by protocol; it always has been previously. FTP, SSH, and other similar protocols are all there, just not TELNET.

My work uses a web-based application to connect to remote sites via telnet, and it depends on the browser being able to fire up a telnet app when a 'telnet://' URL is encountered. This worked great until just recently, I'm assuming my home->pro update caused
this (though it could be coincidence).

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Telnet Not in Default Apps

Let me rephrase - it does not show up under "default apps by protocol", like SSH does. I have documentation that says it should show up there so that you can set the default app that telnet uses to create the connection.
