  1. Windows default apps bugging out.


    Hello, so I've encountered this issue since I installed Windows Windows 10 Pro, which is that any of the Windows default apps bug out.
    What basically happens, is they work fine, like I can launch them Paint 3d, Photo's, etc. but as soon as I want to press a button on the screen, another random button highlights, and clicking on any of the buttons doesn't work. When I try spam-clicking one of the buttons, really fast, I sometimes manage to be quicker than the highlight and the button works. But I need to restart the application to do it again. I have tried reinstalling Windows, resetting Windows, resetting all my settings and probably everything that could fix it and I till encounter the problem. Its almost like there is another keyboard plugged in that is holding down a button like space or arrow key right. Does anyone know a fix?
    Thanks in advance, Brent.

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Windows default apps bugging out. :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

  3. Windows 10 1803 default app change bug

    When right clicking a file and going to "Open With", no matter what file it is, I can't change its default. The box is checked, and the app doesn't change.

    This is also true of right clicking and going to "Properties". When I click change, the default doesn't change.

    This is happening to me on 3 computers now. Steps to reproduce? I could probably do it by:

    Installing Windows 8.1, and upgrading to 10 with the media creation tool.

    This does not happen with a fresh install from a USB with Windows 10.

    Don't tell me to go to "Settings" and change the defaults. The file type list is horrible, and some of my file types are not listed. The registry is not an option on multiple PCs as it is not just one file type. It is ALL file types. No matter what one I
    try, it's always the same result.

    Are there any suggestions? I know how to navigate computer, so please do not suggest that I need to go to Settings

    > Apps > Default Apps. These options are far from optimized, and they don't have what I need. There isn't even an option to browse for an app to select defaults for when the app doesn't show up in the list.

    A quick fix would be nice. Even a simple item in the registry? I could potentially have this problem on all 75 computers in this building as they all started at 8.1 before going to 10. I can't reinstall Windows on every machine. That's ridiculous.
