Microsoft has built-in apps in Windows 10 to handle just about every file you want to open or task wish to complete, but most people have their personal preferences when it comes to accomplishing specific things.

Or you have Photoshop and don't want to waste any time in the Photos app. In Windows 10 setting your default choice for opening files easy enough to do — here's how.
