SAFE FIX for: "There is no email program associated to perform the requested Action."

Windows 10 /11: when trying to use the Right click on a file to "Send To" an error appears "Win 10 Error : There is no email program associated to perform the requested Action."

Best informative video I've come across. Worked for me over any other. Thanks

That is great. I never knew one can configure the Send To menu. Question: is there a way to use Gmail on my Microsoft Edge Browser? Thanks again. Liked & Subscribed.

Under Default Apps - Email - I click on mail & choose a app comes up. I use Outlook for email & there is no option to choose Outlook. How do I get Outlook to be default app? Thanks

You need to first create a shorcut file to the outlook app, then drop that in the folder indicated on video.

@@tek4u22 when I go to all apps there is no Outlook app. I can't find the app to make a shortcut

Many thanks. This one really works and is quick and easy!!

thank you for the help. this does work for "send to". However, i get this message whenever the computer starts up. I have tried creating a new user on the computer and got the same results. Any other ideas?

[@tek4u22]

If its at startup, it could be your e-mail program did not install correctly. If your using a MSoft product your can try to "repair" the install - see here support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/repair-an-office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b If its a separate client (like ThunderB, mailbird etc) I would suggest un-installing your e-mail program, then re-install it, and make it the default e.mail program again when it asks you. Let me know your results / program etc. regards

Ok so my comment describing that comments with links tend get deleted got deleted, but the link didn't get deleted? That is so weird. Anyway, the solution that worked for me is at the bottom of the above link by GabrielaS.

[@earthbind83]

Ok so now my link got deleted as well. What the hell is wrong with KZbin?

[@earthbind83]

KZbin deletes the mention of bugzilla.

I’m using a laptop so I can see this format isn’t working for me so u know how this will work on laptop

[@tek4u22]

Should behave the same on any windows 10.

@@tek4u22 it’s ok I’ve found another way I simply have my email logged in on my laptop mail app it’s self then go into my email locate the paper clip attachment icon the click that and it’ll take me to the gallery section where I can extract my documents from there so it’s like an alternative rather than sending the documents to my email I can just extracted it from my gallery section Instead problem solved DONE ✅
