Windows 10: Windows v1903 Default App Problem

So, I just done a fresh install of v1903. It will not let me install my genuine copy of Office University (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). It says it can't be installed at the same time as "O365ProPlusRetail". Nothing is showing under Add/Remove Programs either. There's nothing installed, so I have no idea what the deal is. I've ran the Office Tool kits and everything. I've rebooted, nothing works.

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 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.

 

Default Apps Problem


Yes, I have tried that too. I went into programs and features and tried to see if I could uninstall the windows app but it is not listed. I can open the program with (open with) context menu but , still will change back.

Thanks for suggestion.
