Default Program Settings Not Setting/Selecting
I have read a lot of posted articles using Google search, but none of them are quite the problem I am experiencing.
My hardware is an ASUS Transformer T100TAM. It came with Win 10, but husband installed our registered Win7 in order to get the free Win10 upgrade.
When I go to Settings->Set Default Programs I have found 2 problems.
(1) an application I have installed (EditPad by JGSoft and Adobe Acrobat Pro) is not available to be selected as a default application instead of OneNote or NotePad or Edge.
and
(2) when the application I want is available from the list and I select it, nothing happens. For example, under select default browser, FireFox, MS Edge and MS IE display. No matter which one I select, it returns to the "choose a default" as if I never selected anything. (What I want is FireFox). I have tried setting using by file type (extensions) and protocols. Same result.
Some articles I read suggested the problem is somehow related to the manner in which the OS was upgraded but I found no solutions to the problem.
I would really like to have my preferred text editor, browser and PDF Editor as the defaults and not be constantly asked to set them in settings where I can not.
Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.
