can't open CHM file on win10

Hi xalspaero

Chm files should open in Windows 10 without any issue

Right click a chm file and choose Open with

Does Microsoft Help HTML Executable appear in the list?

If not, scroll down and click 'More Apps'

Again check for Microsoft Help HTML Executable, if that s not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC'

Navigate to find: C:\Windows\hh.exe

If that file does not exist, click the link below to download HTML Help Workshop and Documentation, which will contain hh.exe

CHM not opening from network folder

Hello,

I can't find anything answer to my problem:

One user complained that he could not open CHM file.

Error:





He mentioned, after vacation everything worked.

What I found:

.chm not opening from network folder, after copy this file on desktop, problem solved. But the person is working with much .chm document, and copy all uncomfortable.

What I tried:

• Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions MaxAllowedZone to 1;2;3;4
• Create UrlAllowList in regedit.
• Uninstall last installed windows updates.
• Open from another (administrator) user on this pc.
• Change location of .chm file f:\ g:\ and other mapped disk, or open path with ip: \\192.168.1.1\folder\file.chm
• No "#" or "%" symbol in file name or path.
• No choose "unblock" in properties.
• Other computers with same windows from image, can open this file from network folder.
  

Maybe you have more ideas? Thanks.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
