change-file-associations-in-windows-10

File associations in Windows 10 are used to determine that which program would automatically
open a specific file type on your computer. For instance, if you wish to use another program to
launch PNG files, you could modify or change the file association. Here, you could subordinate a
different program, like Microsoft Paint, with all files that have a ".png" extension. Once, you
update the file association, when you double-click a PNG file, it will open in Paint rather than
Photos by default. To know more, there is Windows 10 Tech Support Number available where
you will get in contact with experts.

There are two different methods that could help you to
change the file associations-
Method 1: Right-click an individual file:
In order to change the file association for a particular file, you need to right-click a file and then
choose “Open With” and then select “Choose another app”. Once you select “Choose another
app”, there will be following “How do you want to open this file”? a dialog box appears. This
window enables you to choose a default program for the selected file type. After you have
chosen a program, verify the box located next to “Always use this app to open .png files” and
click "OK".
Method 2: Use the Settings app:
When you use this method, you will be allowed to view and modify the full list of file
association accessible in Windows 10. In order to access this list, you need to launch the “Start”
menu and then choose “Settings”. Here, the “Setting app” will get open that allows you to
choose settings for Devices, Accounts, Network & Internet, System, and more. Here, you need
to click “System”, which is the first option shown below. Now, choose “Default apps” from the
list of System settings and then click "Choose default apps by file type", which is near the
bottom of the right pane. Next, the Default Apps by File Type window shows all the files types
currently on your system. In order to change the default program that launch PNG images,
scroll down to the PNG file type and then click the icon of the current default program. After
this follow the onscreen instructions for further preference.
