How to set up the default email client on Windows 10

In general, sending and receiving email is a basic and extremely simple task in Windows 10. However, that is when you have chosen the right default email application.

Sometimes, you click on an email link and that link is automatically opened in a mail client that you don't want to use.

If you're uncomfortable with this situation, just choose an email client you like, then set it as the default. Find out how to do it right here.

Set default email client on Windows 10

First, open the Settings Windows application by pressing the Windows + i key combination. Or you can also access the Start menu and click the gear icon on the left.
