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

Here's a screenshot of the error:





I get this popup every few minutes, unless I just leave it up permanently. I've been googling for a solution for a couple hours now, and have tried almost everything I've found with no luck. I've completely uninstalled outlook, office and everything related to it.

My default Email app is set to the default Windows Mail app.





I don't know what to do. It's a really annoying error and I feel like i've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

:)

Hello. You are gonna have to calm down. Believe it or not, no one here works for MS or has any association with MS. We are just users helping users as best we can and volunteering our time. It is a flawed system in that respect but unless you want to pay
$$$ for "genuine" MS support, it is reality.

I totally agree with you that the Click to Run version's inability to sync is not well documented and is usually learned the hard way. Your frustration is warranted but you will get better answers if you tone it down and get the right people to see it.
The answers forum has alot of sections dealing with different products and most people only stay in the areas they feel competent to support. So I would urge you to post here:
Results in Office - Microsoft Community

which is the Office forum for installation/activation issues.

If you did buy from Microsoft store, I did find some email info here:

OK, I re-installed Office 2010 with the non-Click-to-Run version, and now, after great research and effort on my part, the WMDC will sync.



However, now the newly installed Office 2010 will not "Activate" and gives error (0xC004C032). Additionally, the "Reply" & "Forward" buttons are grayed-out.



I've wasted days on this problem, what a heaping load of BS. A big company like Microsoft should be able to write better software and support it too.



What now???

 

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:
