When I use the left hand side search and click on results other than 'web', a word document is opened! How do I reset the correct app association for this action/file type.
Thank you in advance
Hi
If you go to Settings and then System there is an option there to set default apps
you might need to go to the bottom one to set per file type if something is wrongly assigned to word
hope that helps
What should it be assigned to? I mean, what file type should I be looking for and what app should I associate with it.Hi

depends on what the file is you are clicking on
does it show a file extension for them?
No, it is the pop up during the search results. If the result is a web result, and I click on that it opens Edge. If it is a result on the PC and I click on it then 'word' opens with unreadable script.depends on what the file is you are clicking on

It has windows immersive control panel in the word document, does that help?
need to know what the file type is that you are clicking on, without knowing this its very difficult to say what the default app is for it
eg it could be excel .xls or powerpoint .ppt or a text file .txt or many others
say I do asearch for 'reset' web items are listed, and then items with a cog settings, click on one of those and word opens. I tried right click to display any properties, but could not get it to respond to the right click.need to know what the file type is that you are clicking on, without knowing this its very difficult to say what the default app is for it

If you do a search yourself you will see the files I am talking about. Thanks for trying to help.
I understand now, give me a couple of minutes, just looking for something to try
I cant see one for this default
IF you go into the default apps and use the option to reset to defaults does this correct it?
You are a champion Paul, as it is beyond me to correct the problem. Thanks for being patient and devoted to fixing the issue.I understand now, give me a couple of minutes, just looking for something to try
