    Why am i unable to use some of my settings in the setting app?


    Whenever I search up a setting it doesn't come up like 'Graphics' and 'Display Settings' Even when I go to devices to go to my display settings when I click on it its doesn't do anything. It does not open, even when I right click my desktop and try to get to it from there it still just takes me to the home page of settings.Can someone please help...

    :)

    Family Settings - Unable to download apps & Games

    My Family account has already been set up (www.windowsphone.com/family) and he is listed as a Family Member and I have allowed that he can access 'free & paid apps'.

    My Son is still unable to download apps.

    The wiki is not useful as all the steps were completed prior to me posting the question.

    Setting defaults by app

    I need help to understand how do set ALL supported file formats to associated app.
    In Settings > Default Apps > Defaults by app > APP > Manage I get overlong list of file formats, most of them unassociated.
    I don't find any method how to select them all and assign them to this App. In Windows 8.x it worked this way I have detailed list with sorting and multiselect capabilities. That list in Windows 10 is dummy and unable to assign other way than selecting App from drobdown for each format. Is that smarter list from Windows 8 really gone?
