  1. How to UNSET/REMOVE a default app for link type


    For example when I open t.me/{xxx} in web browser, it will show a popup that ask me to open Telegram Desktop. When I check in "Settings > Apps > Default apps > Choose defaults by link type", I don't see a way to remove the default app. The same thing happened when open Discord link, it will also ask me to open Discord application. I also don't want to uninstall my application. Is there anyway to remove default app for link type?

    :)

    How to change default app for file type

    'Open With > Choose another app' has three step, in the first it only offers apps registered for that file type. If you click 'More apps' it lists all registered apps regardless of suitability. Both these steps have the tick-box for 'Always use...' in my 18363.752. The third step, if needed, is 'Look for another app on this PC'. The 'Always use...' must be ticked before taking this step if you want the change to stick. However, WMP appears at the second step.

    For a quick look at a JPG almost anything (including WMP) is more practical than Photos which on my system takes more than ten seconds just to open a photo. The OP is probably not aware that the Windows Photo Viewer is still available in W10, but hidden away. That's my default viewer for JPG.


    Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10

    And, once enabled, is available in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    I dont want to change it, i want to remove it COMPLETELY. I accidently changed my .package files to open with notebook. I WOULD LIKE THAT TOBE RESET BACK TO NONE. So far there hasn't been any easy workarounds for this, can't you guys just get some fix for
    this or like a new option in a future update or something?

    AS I SAID- I dont want to change my default app for a specific file, i just want to REMOVE the default application, so i have no application asigned for that specific file type (.package files).

    @Bree - yes, I'm quite aware of this thanks, but as you will see it's missing. I recall reading that clicking the dialogue at a certain point in blank space made it appear, and trying that once successfully, but doesn't seem to help now. Plenty of other similar reports of this option being missing.
