Solved: Who's the "resident" email client on W10 (20H2)?

Post by Flycaster »

What's up with Windows 10 (20H2 19042.1165) on my new PC and the context menu's "Email this link?" Before switching all data and programs to the new PC, when focusing on a link and selecting "email this link," the email would be sent via Thunderbird. But now, it seems that the the email is being sent through some other program. Can someone clear this issue up, please? Thanks.

EDIT:
Figured it out. Had to make TB my default email client via Settings>Apps>Choose default apps

Hi FC,
Have you checked what is set in Tools > Options > General > Applications?

Not sure if that's the correct place coz I ain't on WIN 10 or the latest Firefox yet.
