About this tag
The windows default apps tag brings together practical guidance for changing file associations in Windows 10 and Windows 11. One featured guide explains how to install ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors or LibreOffice and assign supported Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OpenDocument file types through Settings > Apps > Default apps, with administrator permissions required during installation. The tag also includes broader discussion of default apps as a platform and policy issue, including bundled services, browser choice, app-store control, and the European Union’s Android antitrust ruling. Together, these topics cover both everyday Windows configuration and the wider debate over how operating systems influence users’ software choices.
