Windows 10: Windows10 not defaulting to opening attachments in online office365

New PC and I'm using Office online. However I can't see how to set the default in Windows 10 to open attachments in online Office Apps. I can though see how to associate files to downloaded apps which I haven't got as I purchased a basic business package. Thanks for any assistance.

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.

 

problem with windows 10 after automatic update - cannot open attachments

Hi,

Please let us know, what type of attachments are you trying to open?

Also, let us know which program was used to open the attachment before the update?

The issue occurs if the default app is not selected to open the attachment. Follow the steps below to Change default programs in Windows 10.

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
• Select System.
• Select Default apps.
• Select which default you want to set, then choose the app.

You don't have to change every time, once you set the default app.
