Problem with Default apps
Hello again everyone, This is something else I found happening to my PC since the installation of the windows 10 pro (service pack) update.
I change all the default apps to apps I prefer to use by selecting them as you would in the defaults app area. I have been using these apps I like since windows 10 pro came out with no problems.
Since the major update though if I power down my PC and what I mean by this is shut windows down than turn off the Power supply power switch on the back of the PC, when I return to use the PC the apps are back to the the ones Microsoft configures as default.
For example I do not use Windows Edge, I prefer Internet Explorer 11. I selected that as one of the default apps I want to use. If I power down my pc and then turn the power back on and boot it up when I go to the default apps area Windows Edge is back as the default app again.
This happens with all the default apps I select and if I choose to pick a alternate program to open a file ( like selecting Adobe Acrobat over Edge from the properties memu of a file) it also changes back to what ever Microsoft uses as default.
Has anyone else have this issue and found a fix? Its really a pain having to reselect my defaults each time.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated
