    Turn on Windows keeping asking default program


    Hi,


    Currently, I double click my python file *.py extension and set Python as default program accidentally.

    So, now when I double click *.py file, the python script will running automatically, this is causing me distress.

    I want to know, could I reset it for *.py then I want to Windows always asking default program when I double

    click *.py; because I want to use this asking to avoid double click by accidentally.


    Thank you so much.



    [OS Version]

    OS: Windows 10 Home _ 10.0.18362

    :)

    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 Turn on Windows keeping asking default program :) 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.

  3. Windows 10 keeps resetting my Default Programs for .wav and internet.

    Hi Carey,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.



    To understand the issue better, I would like to know how did you set the .wav files default to Windows Media Player?
    Please elaborate the steps.



    For now let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue. Follow the below steps.


    • On the Windows search bar type default program and select
      Default Program.

    • Click on Default app and click on
      Choose default app by file type.


    • Locate for the .wav, click next to it and select
      Windows media player.


    If the issue still persist, if might be possible that the user account is corrupt. I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue still persist. Visit the below link to create new user account.
