    hmmm
    There is a bug in Windows 10 that shows for some users where they can’t change their system’s default programs in the Settings app. All their defaults have been reset to show “TWINUI”. This simply means that they have no default programs set, usually because of System Registry corruption, and they’re getting the same bad fallback name as surface in Firefox. The problem can be resolved by restoring the registry from a backup before the corruption occurred.
    so registry may be corrupt? one problem after another on my pc, how do i keep my sanity. ill look into this furthur, cheers

    Please provide more info as it is needed to help you with this to determine the core problem.

    When does this pop up happen, are you trying to open a YouTube video or a pic on your 'puter ?

    What other problems are you having and when did they start.
    You have mentioned in another thread that you have many problems with a 2 month old 'puter.

    All these might be interconnected and need to be looked at for a common connection.

    I would advise you not to go into the registry until a member who has proven experience in this area
    advises you on how and what to change in advance.

    Please provide the the needed info in your next post before you try to do anything else which
    may make your problems more complex.

    @Pathfinder Malcolm, if something screwy happened and your extensions (.avi, .mov, maybe others) are messed up, look at Shawn's tutorial for resetting the defaults to clean up. Might help.

    TWINUI basically means to open a file from the web with your default app, if any. Here is a basic definition of the meaning.
