This SAME topic has been asked in MANY of the Threads - And a Moderator has locked EACH of the threads it seems - But NO ONE seems to be able to tell us - WHY the "''''Ask whether to open or save files''''" does not work anymore.
I had to reinstall Windows 11 and all my files and programs a few weeks ago - and since then - I found the above does NOT work anymore.
Now, I have a boat-load full of documents in a Downloads folder - when ALL I wanted to do is open and look at the various files that I received - BUT NOT save them.
I tried to leave or make the """"""Save files to"""" field BLANK - which I thought would be a great solution as Then the "ASK" prompt would HAVE TO ASK you where you want to save or NOT save the file - but it won't allow you to do that either!
I've attached screen grabs - lest you think I do not know how to manage the Applications settings.
WHAT HAPPENED - Why doesn't - "''''Ask whether to open or save files''''" work anymore?
