Windows 10: Windows asks default program even after being set: disable this?

Well, ain't that interesting: I have followed the instructions: could do the trick & get rid of these exceedingly annoying pop-ups! And look at all those other fun options... Thanks!

 

Hi, with that one it's worth going to the 'old' control panel and setting the default there (CP, Default Programs). That way you can see how many defaults are set. I also seem to recall I had to set the default for a hyperlink manually once, which is the problem you seem to be having.

I.e. perhaps trying to use Settings to specify a default browser might not be completely reliable.

 

Deleting the whole Open with tree worked for me too! Thanks. It was rather annoying to set the default application for JPEG, MPG and other extensions every day! Yes, every day Windows would ask me how to open the file or open it with Windows apps instead of my preferred applications! Really annoying! I hope it is a permanent solution. Thank you again!

 

Hi,

I'd appreciate help.

I didn’t have success deleting [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Roaming\OpenWith] from the registry as suggested in this thread.

As I detailed in this screen-recording (windows pop-up default app.mp4 - Google Drive), if I run the files from Windows Explorer, there is no problem and the default program launches properly. No annoying pop-up window!

However, the pop-up window asking "how do you want to open this file?" always appears when I run the file through a link from any other application (e.g. MS Word).

Does anyone know how to open default program always, in any situation, without pop-up "how do you want to open this file"?

Thanks for assistance,
Cadu

 

Hope this helps:
