Hi, @le .riii

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on the screenshot provided, it appears that you are having trouble with your default apps not opening when you click on them. This can occur if some of your system files are corrupted or when there is an issue with software compatibility.

To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Run the System File Checker tool to check for and repair corrupted system files. To do this, open a Command Prompt as an administrator and type the command sfc /scannow. Wait for the tool to finish scanning and repairing any issues with your system files.
2. Check for any available updates for your operating system and default apps, and install them if available. To do this on Windows 10, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
3. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try resetting your default apps to their default settings. To do this on Windows 10, go to Settings > Apps > Default apps, and then click on the "Reset" button under "Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults".

If none of these steps work, you may want to consider contacting Microsoft support for further assistance.
