Tvlink

Since installing the Windows Creator update, the shortcut on my desktop (ending in .tvlink) which opens one of the computers in my group, no longer works. Windows is asking which app to use. I have tried all the .exe files in the Teamviwer folder but none work. Suggestions? Running Windows 10, Teamviewer 12.

Worked like a charm.

That does not work with w10 ver 1903 OS Build 18362.418

On the previous Build (w10 Version1809) I used to associate it with Internet Browser. That selection is gone with the above build (1903)

For Deployment, I exported the "InternetShortcut" Class entry and created the SYSTEM tvlink_auto_file entry from it as per below.

Opening with TeamViewer now works as expected

Ben2o

Just rename the .tvlink File to .url

whyfat2002

i was able to fix it by going to "pc settings"(not control panel). search for "default app settings"

on that page look for "choose default apps by file type".

I scrolled down untill I found the .tvlinks and changed it from "teamviwer" to "Internet Browser"

Dont ask me how or why it works cause Im honestly puzzled but Im not gonna complain.

hope you see this and it helps

I have tried all the associations that are linked to TeamViewer but none open the shortcut. Do you know which .exe is supposed to open the TVLink?

Supertramp

Hi @hmarans

try first to check correct extension association in Windows 10:

- open Control Panel (Win+X);

- click Programs

- select associations.
