When you search in Default Apps and choose MAILTO, does Thunderbird show in the box?



Next..., is Thunderbird registered here...



Finally..., does it say Thunderbird here...

I was having the same problem with my Thunderbird and posted it on this forum some time ago. No solution was offered

I also informed Microsoft.

About 2 weeks ago the issue suddenly corrected itself.

My wife did not have the issue.

The only difference was that I did a clean installation of 24H2 and in my wife's case I did an upgrade to24h2 with a USB stick.

create a custom shortcut (this is for outlook, but replace with corresponding paths to thunderbird) and add this to your Shell:SendTo folder

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c ipm.note /a
