Windows developers continue to improve one of the most popular operating systems. The updates and patchwork regularly goes, the functionality is updated, new features are added. But even now in the operating system there are present errors and annoying failures, despite the permanent updates. Pretty many users face the error "Standard application is reset" in Windows 10, which often occurred on early versions of the operating system.
Today we will analyze the causes of this error, and several options for its correction.
What is the standard application in Windows 10?
For a comfortable operation of the user, standard applications are provided in the operating system to open the most common types of files and links. By default, the email address opens through the mail application, card files through the program of the same name, and the Music Player is installed by the Music Groove. Also, the "Photos" and "Cinema and TV" applications allow you to view image and video files, and the Internet links open through the Edge browser.
After installing any other program, such as a Chrome browser or third-party video player, links and video files begin to open through them.
Causes of error
There are several reasons for this error.
- A program that was installed instead of standard could change the settings in the computer as it was done in earlier versions of the Windows family. Another method is used in the new version, and not all program developers have managed to update their programs at the time of the operating system output.
- The system update can set the default program settings, or stop supporting outdated programs.
- A similar error also appears in a consequence of the elementary failure.
How to fix the error "Standard application is reset"?
Methods for solving such an error are several. But before proceeding with any serious action, it is worth installing the latest operating system updates and update the failure program by simply downloading the latest version from the developer's site.
Get rid of error in the settings
The easiest way is to install the default application manually. To do this, go to the operating system settings. You can do it through the menu Start or by pressing the keys Win and I.. If you simply disable the notification without correcting the error, the message will appear again soon.

It indicates that the program has caused problems with the settings of the standard application for a specific file format, so the system is reset to this very standard application.
How to fix the error "Standard application is reset" in Windows 10
What does this mean and can I fix the error? All this is solved and very simple. The reason for the error is as follows. Unlike Windows 8.1 and earlier versions, Windows 10 refers to third-party applications designed to view supported by the system from the file types, somewhat differently. When you want to replace, for example, the "Photos" application, install a third-party viewer, it changes the registry settings by becoming a program to view the default images. Windows 10 sees it and, as it were, emphasizing the importance of a regular application, resets the third-party configuration program to source values.
That is, all the pictures again will be opened with the "Photos" app. However, not only the Windows itself is "to blame". Such a reaction often causes third-party programs themselves, not quite properly adapted to Windows 10, so updating them to current releases can be a solution to the problem. If you have the latest version so installed, assign the default tool yourself. Calling from the Start menu "Parameters", go to the "Default Applications" section, scroll down the window slightly down and click "Set Default Values \u200b\u200b...".
In the next window, find the tool in the list, which you want to open the file format you need, click on it and click the Management button.

Tip! If the methods have not eliminated the problem, you need to roll back the system before the problem appears how to do this is described in the article:
Unfortunately, today there is no utilities to eliminate application discharges, so it is necessary to spend time to eliminate the effects of reset applications. If any questions appeared, leave them in the comments.
The Windows 10 operating system contains more than two dozen universal applications that do not always work as users are waiting for it. Any of these applications may (often even without visible reasons) start working with failures, suddenly close, hang, etc.
Previously, to solve problems with applications in Windows 10, it was proposed to apply an undocumented possibility, namely / reinstalling applications using PowerShell. Often this method really helps, but in some cases.
Developing an update Anniversary, Microsoft finally drew attention to it. Now applications that do not open or do not work properly, you can reset without using PowerShell or other tools that can scare away a thousand way. Now the reset function is part of the "Parameters" menu.
What makes the reset function
According to Microsoft, the reset leads to the destruction of all user data in the application, including accounts, settings, and other saved data, giving the "New Start" application. In most cases, the reset must eliminate all problems, due to which this or that application stopped working.
How to reset the application in Windows 10

This may be one of two reasons:
- You use the previous version of Windows 10: Application Reset will be available only after installing Windows 10 update. Anniversary Update.
- The application you are trying to reset does not support this feature: Yes, according to Microsoft, third-party applications will not support the reset function until their developers release the appropriate update.
