1. Go to Settings.
2. Click Apps.
3. Choose Default apps.
4. Go to the right part and scroll all the way down.
5. Click on Set default by app.
6. Then choose the app that you want set as default.
7. Restart your PC.

Let us know if you have other concerns.

Well I lost my login info for ToonTownGuy1 and had trouble tying to reset that, so  created this new account...

anyways... that is what I have been doing....but every time I restart my pc, go to launch firefox, it says that is not my default app and when I follow what you said, all of my defaults have been reset back to the Microsoft defaults. The defaults I set only last for that login session... a restart/reboot removes what I set as defaults

Please refer to the screenshots below:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Click Apps.
3. Choose Default apps.

         4. Go to the right part and scroll all the way down.

         5. Click on Set default by app.

         6. Then choose the app that you want set as default.

          7. Click OK, then exit Control Panel.

Please try it on the other apps that you want to set as default as well. Kindly restart the PC to check if it worked for you.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Dear MS people, don't waste time and the company money on these banal comments. Users know how to set defaults. THIS DOES NOT HELP.

Win 10 resets to defaults - do you understand what "RE" means? Default was set, but Win 10 RESET it without asking user's permission.

One of factors causing it is often some old app - relatively old, made before Win 10.  Still this is the Win 10 fault, Win 7 didn't do this, there is an inherent flaw in Win 10 that makes it do this.

So please do your job - FIX IT.

Hi guys!  Let's all take a deep breath.

Isn't that relaxing? And LOOK!

Here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on his head:

Doesn't that make us all feel a little better?

Okay.

Now, remember, this isn't the official Microsoft Help Desk. This is a Community of (mostly) users just like you who are trying to help each other.

We don't work for Microsoft. We don't get paid by Microsoft. We don't get any rewards of any kind except the satisfaction one feels when helping others to the best of our abilities.

Sometimes we can come up with a solution. More often than not we do, I'm happy to say. That's the advantage of many users working together.

But, sometimes, we don't. That's when we can only suggest that you should contact Microsoft Support directly. Either by using the Feedback App on your computer or by clicking this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/contactus/

And have a NICE day!
