Microsoft Office Word and Excel are preferred by millions of computer users worldwide for creating, editing, and viewing documents.
When you install Microsoft Office 365 or Office 2021/2019/2016, the Office installer usually changes the default applications for supported file formats to Word, Excel, and other apps. However, they may not be the default apps on your computer for various reasons.
The "Microsoft Word/Excel is not the default software for reading and editing documents" message may also appear in Microsoft Office Word and Excel apps. "Do you wish to choose which file formats Word/Excel should open?" When you click the Yes button, nothing happens, but the following message appears:
If you go to the Word/Excel settings menu and select Default Programs, the above page appears, instructing you to go to Settings > Programs > Default apps to set Word/Excel as the default. An application cannot establish itself as the default in Windows 11.
In Windows 11, changing the default program or establishing a program as the default for a file type is not an easy task. That said, it's not impossible to accomplish.
