I'm currently using windows 11 and this question has been occurring so what should I do?

:)

 

No email program associated to perform requested action......

Hi, in a very similar very recent thread all associations in Settings were found to be correct- the fix was to repair Office.

There is no email program associated with the requested action...

there is no email program associated to perform the requested action

 

there is no email program associated to perform the requested action

So had a play:

As you can see the outlook shortcut is in the sendto folder




But not on the sendto menu




I did duplicate some items in the Sendto folder to ensure it was the correct folder and they appeared.

Next, the Mail recipient properties:





Opens with: Unknown, so thought I would add outlook:





Navigate to Outlook and....





Failed

Followed the instructions at post #42 about and outlook open but with the following error message:

 

No email program associated to perform the requested action

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action

When I click on a name or email address in an article I get a message box saying:

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

I read how to fix the problem on another thread but under step 3 Microsoft Outlook is not shown in my registry editor:

"This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.

You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
3. In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
4. Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
5. Click Yes.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
7. Start Outlook.
8. On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
9. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
