Apps Choose Default Apps in Windows 11


  • Staff
Default_app_banner.png

This tutorial will show you different ways to set default apps used to open file and link types for your account in Windows 11.

A default app is the program that Windows has assigned to open a file or link type with by default when you open it.

Default apps you choose will only apply to your account and will not affect other accounts on the PC.

Reference:

Starting with Windows 11 build 22567, Microsoft has updated the “Open with” dialog box to align with Windows 11 design principles. The updated dialog box honors light/dark theme. We have also simplified the experience by making it possible to update your default app with just one click.

Starting with Windows 11 build 23419, Microsoft is introducing a new Settings deep link URI for applications to take their users directly to the appropriate location in Settings for the user to change their defaults. This is an extension to our existing ms-settings: URI scheme.

Option One

Choose Default App for File Type in "Open with" Context Menu


1 Right click or press and hold on a file, click/tap on Open with. (see screenshots below)

2 Perform one of the following steps for what you want to do:

If the file does not have a default app assigned to it (aka: unassociated), you will only have Open with available in the context menu.


  • Click/tap on an available app (ex: "Notepad") to open the file "Just once" with this app (ex: "Notepad"), and go to step 4.
  • Click/tap on Choose another app, and go to step 3.

3 Perform one of the following actions to select an app: (see screenshot below)

If this file type has a default app currently assigned to it, the default app (ex: "Notepad") will show under Default app.


  • Select a listed app to open the file with, and click/tap on Always (open with and set as default app) or Just once (open with without setting as default app).
  • Click/tap on Browse apps in the Microsoft Store to select, download, and install an app from the Microsoft Store. You will need to go back to step 1 to select the new app from the Microsoft Store.
  • Click/tap on the Choose an app on your PC link, browse to and select an app (.exe, .pif, .com, .bat, or .cmd) you want to open this file with, click/tap on Open, and click/tap on Always (open with and set as default app) or Just once (open with without setting as default app).

That's a helluva lot of hoops to jump through!
Why the heck not set an app as default for all protocols it can handle in one click?

I was just thinking that it seems like they have gradually been making it harder to change default apps. It used to be you went in to the program and clicked a button to change it to the default and you were done.

Option 2, Step 3 "Click/tap on the Moore apps link. (see screenshots below step 4)" - I'm sure that is supposed to read "More apps".

I like Option Four "Choose Defaults by File Type in Settings", that's new in Windows 11 and it is a great location to have the option.

And what can I do, when these steps don't work?

I can set default apps for most extensions.... but not for video files for some reason...

If I Right on an mkv or mp4 file, and choose to open it with something else, the option to "always use that app" is missing.
If I right click and select Properties, de option to choose a default app is missing for mkv and mp4 files.
If I open the default app ooptions for VLC, mkv and mp4 are missing from the list.
If I try to add mp4 or mkv extensions for the other setting, the "add" button is greyed out.

Mostly only for video files..
The rest seem to work.
Anybody? Any answer?

Examples
1.jpg
1a.jpg

For the jpg file, the button is there.

2.jpg
2a.jpg

For the mp4 file, the "always use this app" is missing.


3.jpg
3a.jpg

For jpg, the app is selectable, for mp4, the buton is greyed out.

Sorry for the hungarian images, but the language should not be important here.

I got it actually. I though I'll share it in case someone would need it.
For some reason Windows 11 has some preconfigured apps "buggy", and you need to reset them. (in my case picture viewer, video and music player)

Open a Powershell(preferably in admin, I only tried in admin), and enter these command:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Photos -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.ZuneVideo -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.ZuneMusic -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage

No restart needed. The abovementioned methods should work after this :)

I get the same.

I at first thought that it was a fault with the VLC installation as carried over from the Windows 10 I upgraded from. But even after re-installing VLC and being sure to specify that all familiar video file types are selected for association, the problem still occurs for me with MP4 and MKV videos....

All of these solutions seam to be setting the default for one file type. It is time-consuming to switch every single one. In 10 you could set Firefox, for example, to open all the file types that it could handle.

Hopefully, that feature will be added back in the future if enough people send feedback to Microsoft about it. :(
