    Tried the film strip, it said enter URL, like from a you tube video, no method to perform the task from the PC

    asked my Pal in the UK to check the association and on
    8.1 it is Windows Shell Common Dll
    W7 it is - my Pal says .settingcontent-ms not in the list on Windows 7????

    Just checked my Windows 10 Lap Top and it is Windows Shell Common Dll as the association. I upgraded from W7 on the Lap Top.
    Now I just have to figure how to change that on this W10 Desktop, which I upgraded from W8.1

    Just checked my Windows 10 Lap Top and it is Windows Shell Common Dll
    NEW NOTE: ALERT I have the same sign in on both Lap Top and Desktop, they synchronised and now the issue has transferred to the Lap Top and the association is now Internet explorer. How crappy is that of Windows 10 to do that??????

    as default it will sync these things if both using the same account
    I have a tablet and a laptop and it keeps things synced like that

    not sure what else we can try, I would probably be starting to thin about doing a reset of the machine to get it back to default (depending how many apps you need to reinstall)

    Windows 10 search opens 'word' incorrect file association

    I could do that, and it may well perform the same. I have too many pieces of software to do that. I back up with ACRONIS, so I could roll back. But my luck it has the problem in the rolling 4 back ups now. I will just leave it. Thanks for your help Paul

    that's the same with me
    I have a few small issues with 10, but quite a bit of software I don't want to re install

    hoping for fixes from MS to come

    I wonder if their updates caused the problem.
