The Issue One of my customers is still using Windows Live Mail as their default email client. They're currently running the Windows 10 1709 'Fall Creators Update,' and sometimes for whatever reason they lose their ability to scan to email from their Brother MFC-7240 through ControlCenter4. In previous versions of Windows 10 you could open the old control panel and go to Set Program Access and Defaults (SPAD), click on the custom radiobutton and choose live mail to fix this issue. Since the release of 1709 the link to SPAD opens up the settings app and takes you to the Default Apps page.

Unfortunately choosing Windows Live Mail as the default handler for mail here doesn't fix the problem. It turns out that this is because ControlCenter4 is using the default MAPI settings, not the default program setting that this app lets you configure.

As the MAPI registry key is no longer updated when you set a default program, CC4 can't see the setting and throws this error. The solution Changing the default MAPI client using the registry.

Run regedit and open this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Clients Mail You will notice that there are different sub keys for each folder. One for 'Microsoft Outlook', 'Outlook Express', 'Opera', etc. These are the registered mail clients.

Inside the Mail folder there should be a value called '(Default)'. You need to change the value to the name of one of these subfolders For example, since I want to use Windows Live Mail, I open the 'mail' folder, double click on the 'Default' key, and set its value to Windows Live Mail After hitting ok it works. If you want to use a different client just set the key to the name of one of the other subfolders in the mail folder and it should work.

Hey, i have tried the included email app that is integrated into windows 10 and today i tryed with another one called eM Mail Client. Sims 4 mc command center. Allthough, the in the Default programs setting itțs changed to whatever email app i whant to use, i cannot rightclick a file>send to>email.

A popup window appears that tells me that i have to select the email app in the Default Programs. I allready did that. First, with the windows Mail app i thought it was a bug because of the somehow limited functionality of the app, but now, i see it doesn't work even with a more complex app.

It's very annoing that i allwais have to open a different window and i have to search for the file i whant to attach to an email and then drag it to the compose message window:(. I can't believe nobody else is having this problem. I am having the same problem and I have reported it twice to Microsoft Chat Support and no one seems to acknowledge it is now a well known issue and I asked the Chat Agent, Christopher M. To forward the issue to the Microsoft Windows 10 Mail App development team but he did not say yes or no whether he would do so. Here is a summary of my reported issue to Chat Support and Microsoft Feedback which is built into the Mail App: Fix Windows 10 default e-mail client Version 17.7369.40697.0.

The Windows 10 Mail pre-installed program is unable to set as default 'mail to' program in Windows 10. For example, I want to use my short menu to select 'Send to. Mail recipient' and the following dialog box message appears: 'There is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action.

Please install an e-mail program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs, Control Panel.' I went to Control Panel and confirmed Windows 10 Mail has all of its default settings but still it will not behave as the default email client. Then I went to Windows Support Chat and I was advised to perform an 'In-Place Upgrade'. I followed the steps and performed the upgrade which went smoothly with no issues, but still Windows 10 Mail will not function as the default email client when trying to send a file as an email attachment using the Windows 10 short menu and selecting select 'Send to.
