I can’t get Windows 10 to accept eM client as the default e-mail client.
eM Client IS set as default app, but when scanning to email, the scanner won’t recognize that this is the default e-mail client.
As I try to set default program, there is a progress-bar that pops up and stops midway thru.
When I click the eM Client icon I get a blue square that says: “If you would like to change default app go to settings > system > default app” and then just a OK button. When I click OK the progress-bar continues, but no changes are made.
I’ve tried all ways to set default program but no luck.
We’re sorry you’re experiencing this issue. Could you please check that the program is set as default in Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Set your default programs? Windows’ Default Apps is sometimes not completely reliable.
If this doesn’t help, could you please go to the ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ window (you can get there by searching this name through the start menu search) and make sure the .NET Framework 3.5 box is checked?
Hi, new user here. When I go to “Set Program Access and Computer Defaults”, Windows10 refuses to go through with the procedure and eM pops up a message that says “To change your default apps, go to Settings > System > Default apps.” which is where I am as far as I’m aware.
When I go into “Set Default Programs” eM Client is listed in the side bar and says “this program has all its defaults” on the right side. Yet I can’t click the “Make default” button within eM because it also pops up the same error message as before: “To change your default apps, go to Settings > System > Default apps.”
I went to “Windows Features” and installed/turned on “.NET FRamework 3.5” as per above, and I still get the same problem.
You can’t have eM Client change the default app in windows 10. It must be done in Windows. In Windows, go to Settings/All settings/Default Apps and verify there that eM Client is the default app. In addition, click on “Set defaults by app” (bottom of screen) and find eM Client in the left panel. Select it an then select “choose defaults for this program” and check “select all”
Please note that usually eM Client still will not report itself as the default in eM Client settings (menu/tools/settings/general/general), but it will act as default.
I tried your first suggestion but no luck. It is set as default program.
I checked the .NET Framework 3.5, it was already set, unfortunately that didn’t work.

The problem is that you need to manually assign the MAPI protocol to emClient. Selecting emClient as standard app doesn’t do that for you, it seems to be “hardwired” to Outlook, but it can be changed manually.
Thank you for the update. In that case, can you please post a screenshot of the ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ window and Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations?
I fixed it by changing the registry by hand. Nothing else worked.
The line where it was suppose to say “eM client” was empty.
Added “eM Client” and after that it worked just fine.
Hello Michal,
if installing neither .NET Framework 2, 3.5 helps, open Run window and enter regedit.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Clients > Mail
Check if eM Client is set for the (Default) registry.
In my case I have check in booth different Windows 10 pro OS any registry keys contain “eM Client” in data field. One of them has correct setup for eM Client as default app and another not. The comparison show no different.
The solution was
go to eM Client application itself
Menu->Settings
Scroll down and select “Set as default application”
