Downloaded documents opening in a wrong file
Greetings tenforums
I've recently updated to windows 10 and I'm encountering a problem with downloaded word documents opening in Wordpad instead of Microsoft word.
A few details: The documents in the site in downloading from has always used microsoft word documents, which I've always been able to download as such in the past. I use Office 2003, I know it's old, but it has always worked until now.
When I download the document it's done in wordpad, which can't see all the stuff in the document that microsoft word can. Opening the wordpad with microsoft word only make the document unreadable with alot of weird and random characters.
Changing file association through the "Default apps" does not work for me either as the downloaded document at ones just goes to the problem mentioned above. Again, these documents were readable by my microsoft word when I ran it on win7.
Hoping someone can help me. Thank you for your time.
