I love simplicity, and W8.1 interface is very simple: it hides the titles and the max/min/close buttons making the OS really clear and simple… while windows 10 is more bloated…īut I have to agree with you on this one: it is simple and it’s a known “fix” on the associations problems.

now I remember why I love windows 8.1 interface and hate windows 10 one: apps fullscreen: once you get used, you don’t want anything else! the email client on W8.1 is 10x better than the W10 one: it separates newsletters and company emais from your personal emails but in majority I don’t have the problems I was having with W10…Īs I said, it depends on the computer’s hardware and what you do and what you want.

as I already said, I had really big issues with W10, so much that I got tired of them and downgraded to the good “old” windows 8.1, the windows that came with my PC when I bought it. Well, to be honest I think that if a windows version suits you or not it depends on what you do, but in majority it depends on your computer. But that was really my issue–not a Windows 10 issue–because I keep a lot of icons on the desktop which is, in truth, sort of stupid.

If the only social cause a person has in life is to complain about one OS with the intent of changing what is probably already on the “things to do” list of developers, that person is to be pitied. There isn’t a perfect OS, but those complaining or having problems may want to purchase a Mac and try OSX. That may be a bit difficult for some because of Einstein’s “Law of Laziness,” but it may fix any issues being experienced. Like it’s really hard to scroll through a list of file extensions and click “change program.” Default program associations aren’t a new thing they occurred way back with Windows XP. I wonder what the users are doing wrong to have so many annoying problems with Windows 10. Tip: While there is no search as well, you may tap on the first letter of the file type or protocol to jump to the first matching entry in the listing. You have the option to set the program as the default for all file types and protocols that it claims that it supports, or select choose defaults for this program instead to select them individually.Ĭhanging file and protocol associations this way worked on the system that would not let me change them using the Settings application. Simply select one of the programs that you want to make the default for a protocol or file type. Windows displays a list of installed programs on the page that opens. Tip: You may select "associate a file type or protocol with a program" for granular control.

While you can still activate "set your default programs" in the Control Panel applet, doing so opens the Default apps listing in the Windows 10 Settings app. Update: The workaround is not working anymore in recent versions of Windows 10.

There is no search, and you need to scroll to find the protocol you want to change.
