Windows 10: Win 10 mailoto protocol ignoring system settings

Win 10 Enterprise build 1809 ignores default settings to use Thunderbird instead of Outlook for mail to. I have triple checked the default mail app setting and protocol setting, switched back and forth between the two applications as default, it refuses to use the system settings.



Does anyone know a fix?

Ignoring Default App Settings





Hi, WMP is a bit puzzling.. I noted those two folders also, and this is a clean install of Win 10, so suggest you leave it well alone. That's how to remove/install it.

 

When trying to set Protocol Handler in Chrome, (for Bitcoin, Gmail, Etc) Windows gives me a dialog box that states "To change your default apps, go to Settings > System > Default Apps"

"I was able to do this by adding a Key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry..."

And that's it? Would you share how exactly did you do it step-by-step? Show an example others can learn from, instead of following the same low standards you rejected above.

You asked a valid question: How a user can manually add a new protocol or protocol handler installed on a local PC to Win 10 Default Apps & Protocol Associations List? That would be needed, if the protocol handler is already installed or available,
but the protocol or handler is not listed in Win 10 defaults. Were is your detail answer using BitCoin as a new protocol example? May be MS employees can provide it?

A few links I can suggest, though some info might have limited or no applicability to Win 10:

Registering a protocol handler in Windows 8

How to register a protocol for a .Net app under Windows 10?

Application Registration
Installing
and Registering Protocol Handlers

Restore Default File Associations in Win 8.1

Setting
Default Program/Protocol Associations with DISM

Yet another simple approach that worked for me was uninstalling all desktop and modern apps handling a certain protocol as traced in Registry including the default app, and THEN reinstalling the app I wanted to handle that protocol
by default instead. Thorough Registry cleanup may be done in-between.

 

Power Settings Ignored by Lenovo Yoga 400 laptop

• Did you make any changes to your computer? I dont know.. what kind of changes are you talking about. I only added software.. like Norton Security and a few free MSFT apps.
• Which Build are you currently in? I dont know..probably the latest one. How do i determine "the build"?? I always update windows and pretty sure this is up to date here.
• Which troubleshooting steps did you try? Tried everything that was suggested,..power troubleshooter, update graphics card, set power settings to default, and other things.. nothing worked. Has been a problem for many months.
  How do i do this clean boot? I will need instructions for these things..step by step. i am tired of this machine ignoring the power settings. Need this fixed.
