I would like to set MusicBee as my default music player in Windows 10 but it is not an option in settings.  Does anyone know how to do this please?

Welcome to the forum billgyrotech

First, in MusicBee go to: Preferences> General
Under 'file types', check "enable MusicBee in Windows Explorer..."
(you might need to run MusicBee with administrator rights to be able to do this)

Then in Windows 10 go to: PC Settings> System> Default apps> Set defaults by app
In the next screen select MusicBee, and choose 'Set this program as default'.

That should do it.

That worked fantastic!  Thanks for the help.  This music player is so easy to organize compared to any others I have tried.

Have a great one!

What version of MB are you using? (Help > About) INCLUDE THE LETTER (if any) AFTER THE NUMBER
How was MB installed? (Store, Installer, Portable)

It may not be possible if you're using the Store version of MB. (I don't use it so I can't say with certainty.)
Where is the MB icon you're clicking on?
Does MB launch?
