    there is no email program associated to perform the requested action


    Here's a screenshot of the error:



    I get this popup every few minutes, unless I just leave it up permanently. I've been googling for a solution for a couple hours now, and have tried almost everything I've found with no luck. I've completely uninstalled outlook, office and everything related to it.

    My default Email app is set to the default Windows Mail app.



    I don't know what to do. It's a really annoying error and I feel like i've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello, it would seem you have two problems.
    1. the assocation
    Suggest you try this:
    there is no email program associated to perform the requested action-snap-2016-04-08-11.48.00.jpg

    From the control panel
    (E.g. via Windows key + X, click Control Panel, then Default Programs).

    2. Sthg that is accessing a file repeatedly, whose type is not associated.
    You might be able to work out what that is using a clean boot:
