When I click on a link in an email that is supposed to open the mail built into Windows 10, it will not open the mail. It works in Chrome.

Hi

If you type about:preferences#applications into the address bar and scroll down the list to mailto, you should be able to change the default email application.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

I had "always ask" ahead of "Use Mail (default)". When I removed the "always ask", the Windows 10 mail started opening as it should. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
