To make WPS Office as the primary office application on Windows, you need to configure file associations so that documents Word files, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations open automatically in WPS Office’s three core apps. Begin by ensuring that WPS Office is present on your PC. If it is not available, get the most recent build from the official WPS Office website, launch the installation program, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Once WPS Office is successfully set up, open the Windows Start menu and open the Settings app. Go to Apps, then pick Default Apps from the menu on the left. Scroll down until you see the section labeled Choose default apps by file type. Here, Windows shows a table of common file extensions along with the currently assigned app associated with each one. Find the file types you want to associate with WPS Office, such as .DOCX,.PPTX,.XLSX and other Office formats.

For each file type, select the assigned app listed next to the extension. A menu of programs will show. Find WPS Writer for Word documents, the WPS Spreadsheets application, and WPS Presentation for.pptx files. Select the matching WPS program for each extension. If you can’t find WPS applications listed, click on More apps at the bottom of the list and then select Search the Microsoft Store. If that fails, return to the Default apps screen and scroll down to Set defaults by protocol. Ensure that any associated links such as http or https are not causing conflicts, and reconfirm that WPS Office was successfully deployed.

Alternatively, you can right click on any document file, such as a .Word file, and pick Open with from the right-click menu. Then, click Choose another program. Ensure you check the box that says Set as default for this extension before clicking Confirm. Follow the same steps each file type you wish to associate with WPS Office. This method is ideal if you prefer to handle file types individually rather than through the Settings menu.

After setting the file associations, it is a recommended step to test the configuration. Left-click twice a few documents of multiple extensions to verify they load in the correct WPS Office application. If any files still open in a different app, return to the file association screen and {ensure you did not miss|check that you haven’t overlooked|confirm all) any file extensions.
