I am running Windows 10 and importing my photos into the Photos App however when I click on Share the only options that are available are Mail (Windows 10 app) or my Samsung printer, there is no Outlook 2013 option there so I can email it.

Am I missing something obvious?

    There are loads of people who want this very basic functionality. Yet, if you search on the subject, despite the requests going back ages, the response from Microsoft is in the range from ludicrous (reset your whole PC) to you are only a customer, why would we want to meet your needs, obvious though they may be.

    This is an example of the blindingly obvious in functionality terms. If you live in Outlook desktop you want to share using Outlook desktop. Not some cut down mail program which, if you enable it with your accounts, will clutter up your storage with second copies of your messages.

    In my naivety I used to think that a company provided forums (for a) such as this to not only enable self help but also to pick up and respond to user needs. How wrong can one be? The people in Redmond appear to be too busy training themselves to shoot their own feet to bother with mere users.

    In my opinion, this mess is the legacy that Steve Ballmer has left, a place where divisions don't work together, everyone is out for themselves, and the user suffers.  I guess I'm glad he is gone and this new guy is there to reinvigorate a once-great company.  I know it will take some time.

    I seem to be missing the point of the "default app" if other apps don't recognize it, especially those with Microsoft's name on it!  After reading this thread I think there's enough feedback here to have something done about it.

    Which would be another redundancy given that these comments are on a Microsoft site monitored by support engineers.

    That's funny. I have  MS Surface Pro4. It is so buggyou.  Same problem with photo shar I nguyen and also a task bar that covers the file command and no way to remove it without a reboot. When I send an email it returns to my desktop and not Outlook or my browser if I was sharing a link noon matter the settings inOutlook. Constantly telling me my Outlook.com settings are out of date no matter that I do not use Outlook.com. I could go in (and obviously and on and on.....)

    That's utterly dumb. Please rectify.
