Windows 10: There is no email associated to perform the requested action

I need help please. I have upgraded to Windows 10 and following setup and program installs, I keep getting a very annoying pop up telling me that" There is no email associated to perform the requested action" I have installed Thunderbird and have methodically used the Default app settings but continue to get this pop up. What needs to be done to disable or stop this

:)

 

there is no email program associated to perform the requested action

I'm sure what you mean re User Accounts what is listed under Mail. There were no mail references. Same with Set defaults by app.

 

No email program associated to perform the requested action

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action

When I click on a name or email address in an article I get a message box saying:

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

I read how to fix the problem on another thread but under step 3 Microsoft Outlook is not shown in my registry editor:

"This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.

You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
3. In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
4. Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
5. Click Yes.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
7. Start Outlook.
8. On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
9. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.

Hello, it would seem you have two problems.
1. the assocation
Suggest you try this:




From the control panel
(E.g. via Windows key + X, click Control Panel, then Default Programs).

2. Sthg that is accessing a file repeatedly, whose type is not associated.
You might be able to work out what that is using a clean boot:
