    Word Pad runs everything in Windows 10


    Never seen anything in my life like this. This is one fix I have not been able to solve on my own or find information, thus I need all this forum's help I can receive. All programs software and extensions no matter which one I select all open in jibberish on Word Pad with the phrase "This program can not be run in DOS mode."I even tried to download a malicious tool software only to meet the Word Pad grim reaper. I could not find a solution on line unless I looked in the wrong place.It seems as if this trouble started when after answering an Intel Driver and Support request for downloading up

    :)

    Short cut in changing Word Pad default to Word in Windows 10

    Unaware of what the cause was, I get a Word Pad default every time I try to open my Word file.

    Here is a few simple steps I did:

    Right Click on Word Pad

    Setting

    Properties

    General

    Click om Word Pad and change to Word (Icon appears)
