I found it under RUN key in the registry so it was attempting to execute and failed with an “Either there is no default mail client More investigation required for other causes this but it may get you started. I had the exact same issue: new bit W10 machine, Office through , and same error. Thunderbird installation did NOT fix this still showed Outlook as the default app, even though T’bird showed up on send-to-mail-recipient choice. Once I uninstalled T’bird, and the problem with Outlook persisted, I tried the registry permission tweak, rebooted, and now Outlook is working.
I also tried reinstallation using the Office removal tool first, and rebooting , was using bit Office, removed the Windows search indexing locations leaving only the single Outlook , and also had no plugin for Adobe in Outlook. One thing that may have interfered early on is that I showed two Outlooks when choosing the default app.
There may have been the “bootstrapper” version in the system before I installed Office the one that is “preinstalled” so you can activate via your account without having to download from office. Once I did the cleanup again , there was only one copy of Outlook to choose from. I had tried all of the solutions: uninstalling, reinstalling, 32 bit, 64 bit, looking at the registry edit and none of these worked.
However, the simple answer is turning off the preview pane if you have that turned on. I know this is old, but it still effects many, so as this is high on the google list I am going to post my solution to this in the hope it helps someone.
Check the spelling on the Default setting, it should say “Microsoft Outlook” to match the key present in Mail. Here’s a solution for this problem. Right click on the Outlook shortcut and then go to File Location, There, right click on the shortcut and choose advanced Check the Run as administrator box and your problem shall disappear. I had uninstalled I tunes but never took out Apple support programs. When I uninstalled all apple programs off my computer the error message went away.
I hope this helps. Hello All, I have found a solution to all my users who had this issue. What you can do is right-click on the icon on the status bar and it’ll will tell you what program this message is related too.
Then you can right-click on the program and click on properties to find the location. Mine happened to be an old installation of Dymanics CRM that didn’t uninstall cleanly and was using a file within the Program files or Program Files x86 Microsoft Dynamics that wasn’t valid anymore. I deleted the folder and that fixed the problem.
Summary just an unclean uninstall of a program was my cause. I can’t find a fix to this. We’re migrating from IBM Notes to Office and for some users, the Notes client still tries to act as the default can’t uninstall it yet even though Outlook is set as default in Windows.
So are you getting the “either there is no default mail client Or is it just that windows is still trying to use Notes as your default even though you’ve changed the default? If this is true, what happens when you uninstall notes? Windows tries to use Notes as default even though Outlook is set. I can’t uninstall just yet, but it may just be as simple as that.

Lee’s home area Arlington, Virginia becomes a military cemeteryArlington Estate was established by George Washington’s adopted grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, to be a living memorial to the first president. I manage several M tenants all with Security Defaults enabled and in one specific tenant, for some reason, no users including Global Admins are able to create a Team directly in the Teams app using the “Join or create a team” option.

Microsoft Office. Windows 7 Pro fully patched bit Office Pro Plus bit Adobe Reader DC as I think Reader has something to do with this Worth noting: Lync aka Skype for Business is installed on the machine I’ve tried the obvious stuff: Make sure Outlook is set as the default mail client Run a repair on Office Make sure all updates have been run Then I started looking at other solutions, including setting up a different default mail service within Adobe Reader.
I’d love to get this nuisance issue out of my user’s way. Any ideas? Popular Topics in Microsoft Office Microsoft Office prompting to join company network for email ac Office says no internet connection can’t activate Possible to specify which calendar Outlook Meetings post too?
Adam Gadoury. Spice 3 flag Report. OP Chris Spice 1 flag Report. I wish Microsoft still supported Live Mail, I thought it was the best as far as free mail client. I tried using the free mail and calendar app and it was too light weight, not giving me the options needed.
Most important the ability to create folders using a pop mail account. Right know I have chosen to use Outlook as the best option for what I need. The mobile apps are nice but what about the Surface Phone? Are we supposed to have both full Office and Office Mobile installed? What Surface Phone? MS does offer a store version of ‘full’ Office, primarily for those running Win 10 in S mode.
It is not however UWP, and that is not what the centennial bridge does for x86 apps. That is not a trivial undertaking as the OneNote team will tell you. They have ben working to achieve as much parity as they can, and have done a great job, IMHO. You may disagree, but not every function used by a handful of people, according to the telemetry, is going to make it. I Imagine the telemetry says the current ‘mobile’ versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Mail, Calendar are adequate for those not needing or installing full Office.
My Surface Pro has O and the store apps as they are preinstalled , and I use them relatively interchangeably, depending on the level of capability I need. On the fixed desktop, while both sets are installed, I tend to gravitate to the O apps. I don’t have much of an issue with the data updating across clients, whether PC’s, tablets iOS or phones. I don’t see it as a one or the other proposition.
I’ve been using Outlook for years with my own Exchange Server Unfortunately, Outlook doesn’t work with Exchange ’07 and I can’t install apps individually. I’m either stuck with using apps or upgrading and having to use Windows Mail. Accept that Outook Requires Office subscription And office is renting sofware so it’s something to think about. Or you can just find a copy of Office , not the newest, close to and cheaper from websites as it’s the past version.
Personally at home, I use Outook to connect to my personal exchange server and I use Windows Mail for my hotmail account Office comes with 1tb of storage I look at it as ” also comes with free office” lol. I have access to both and I use the more basic Windows Mail, it is simpler and more than meets my needs at this time.
That said, I was having sync issues with my Outlook. Outlook does Email, Calendar, Contacts Tasks and Notes For Outlook. Outlook is the best way to access the service, IMO. To bad they made OneNote free, and not Outlook Nice rage comic face lol.
I hope Outlook can have the option to just keep local copy of emails for a certain length of days, like the Windows mail app. That would the be perfect solution for me. My mailboxes are too large to have a full local copy on many of my PCs, and tens of thousands of mails in several mailboxes can make the Outlook slow as well.
It has the option. Just go to account settings and click on the account and then on change. The next dialog has a slider for you to choose how long to keep offline mail.
So about a month ago something happened with Hotmail and outlook. Both of my accounts needed to have the passwords changed. I did so and then outlook at work and outlook at home stopped working. SO on both I updated the passwords, didn’t work. I deleted the accounts from control panel, then tried to re-add them, didn’t work. I tried getting all updates from MS, still didn’t work.
These are all WIndows 10 machines at home, WIndows 7 at work. Do you use wto step verification, or have it turned on? It does not cause you to have two logins normally so it may not be obvious. If you do, you may need to create a ‘one time’ app password to get bck in when you change your pw. What does that do for me I’m using W8. It gives you an incentive to move forward to Windows 10 :. It really doesn’t. I still love Windows 8. I hate Windows What do you mean by not built for touch, not bastardized?
At the moment, they have different contact lists and calendars. You have to use both. There’s no way to omit one. If you send business emails with signatures, outlook. When you on the go, mail on phone. I use Mail on PC for notifications. Outlook is for life though, with PST file backup. I hate. Nothing but a pain in the rear. One big database that gets corrupted and crashes every time you turn around.
And some people maintain 3, 5 even What you are calling ‘Windows Mail’ is actually ‘Outlook Mail’ in the apps list. This close naming of the two simply confuses everyone. Why must there be a choice, just combine the best of both applications and create one awesome mail service.
It’s funny Because consumers don’t need an enterprise email client. No live tile for Outlook. In fact the whole of Office has terrible support for live tiles. Direct camera support. Inserting pics direct from the front or back camera.
This lack of support for modern hardware and modern OS in favour of the old desktop software and hardware makes me not want to stuff with office. It’s hard to go back to any client that doesn’t include that feature once you’re used to it.
The setting up of accounts in Outlook must be what 20 years old?? Let alone painful. Setting up of email accounts should have the Mail app approach – more up to date, and no bullshit. I used the full Outlook for decades. I am forced to use it at work. When I first started using Windows 8 I ditched Outlook as quickly as possible. I get so tired of the crashes, the busted.
And at work, it’s worse. We’re the flipping DoD and we can’t keep email working for a day. Have I ever had a time when the Windows 8 or 10 Mail app didn’t work? I have never needed most of the features in Outlook–even in any of the places I’ve worked. That’s a lot of unnecessary overhead and just creates a long list of things to break. So, I’ll stick with the Mail app, thanks.
Wow, that sucks that you’ve had those experiences. I have had the opposite experience — virtually never a problem with Outlook. I used to be anti-Outlook, and with the older versions, I think that was valid. But since about Outlook or , I have flipped and now like it so much I even set up an Exchange Server at my house for our family, with each person running a copy of Outlook on their own system OK, I know that’s an unusual use case.
No errors or crashes ever that were Outlook’s fault. Sure, if you just use POP mail, it’s probably not worth Outlook and its PST files, but if you have calendaring, tasks, contacts with events, use multiplue computers and want everything kept in sync across all of them, ever want to do a mail merge with your contacts, rules for sorting messages as they arrive, setting up groups, sending at specific times, detailed search options, want to write macros in VBA no less for processing your data, etc.
For me, it’s head and shoulders above the alternatives, just as much or more as Word, Excel, and OneNote and probably should include PowerPoint, but I don’t use that as much. But that’s just my experience. If I had crashes like you did, I’d probably feel differently. As an Outlook user what irritates the hell out of me is that a bunch of Windows 10 apps such as Photos only allow share with Mail.
Conversely, Mail far from not allowing items to be flagged handles flags far better than Outlook. Yes,I do know how to get a flagged items view in Outlook but why should one need to be a power user to get there? Mail is clean and Microsoft needs to clean Outlook up as it has done with the web interface. A quick note about Outlook for Macintosh – and why I don’t use it. Outlook refuses to remember my screen geometry settings. Every single time I open Outlook, it opens in a relatively small window.
I stretch the window out so that I can see what I’m working on. The next time I launch Outlook, it’s back to that small window. I don’t like either one for personal use. I use a browser and go to Outlook. I use Outlook at work and like it. It works nicely with a corporate exchange server.
But when synchronizing with an outook. And SLOW The built in Mail app stinks, IMO. Outlook does not require a subscription to Office! You totally left out Outlook. I’ve tried to use the Mail app a few times, and I just haven’t liked it. Hard to pinpoint exactly why. I use Outlook.
Since my day 1 at work, I was taught to use OIutlook years ago. I think I will vote for Outlook no matter what. Yes, it is CalDAV. I give a big thumb for it. Though Apple has iCloud Control Panel in complemntary of calendar, contact and reminder synchronization, there is no way to asign iCloud folders as Outlook’s default folders. Since this add-in also synchronizes Google Calendar, I am kind of better now.
I’ve been using the Windows Mail app that comes with Windows 10 for a few years now. I enjoy the simplicity of it. One annoyance though I recently started to move from Calibri to Segoe font for business documents and emails, but there’s no setting to allow for a permanent font change in the mail app, which frankly seems a bit stupid. I found out how to change the default font and style settings in 8.
I use Outlook client at work and Outlook. Windows Mail still seems no good. I can’t use it as my primary mail client. I tend to use Calendar even when I have the same account setup in Outlook. It’s just a more pleasant experience. With the registry, all I did was delete the key, that was under Client: Mail, with the one that had Outlook not listed as the item.
Now again, came to the left pane of this location and locate the Microsoft Outlook subkey to the Mail key refer to image below :. Now right click on the Microsoft Outlook subkey and select Delete. This will delete the subkey , so finally now you can close the Registry Editor and reboot to get the issue fixed.
You stated to ‘repair ‘, but I have un-installed it. I thought just removing the software that caused the issue with Outlook originally would help, but it didn’t. Can I repair, if un-installed? Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another.
