To configure WPS Office as the default document handler on Windows, you need to link file extensions so that files Word files, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations open automatically in the respective WPS components. Begin by ensuring that WPS Office is present on your PC. If it is missing, obtain the newest release from the official WPS Office website, run the installer, and complete the guided setup to finish installation.

Once WPS Office is installed, access the Windows menu and open the Settings app. Go to Apps, then pick Default Apps from the left sidebar. Scroll down until you see the section labeled Set default programs by extension. Here, Windows displays a list of common file extensions along with the current default program associated with each one. Find the file types you want to bind to the WPS suite, such as .DOCX,.PPTX,.XLSX and other Office formats.

For each file type, click on the assigned app listed next to the extension. A dropdown of installed apps will pop up. Locate WPS Writer for Word documents, WPS Spreadsheets for.xlsx files, and WPS Presentation for PowerPoint files. Select the correct WPS component for each extension. If you don’t notice WPS applications listed, choose See more apps at the bottom of the list and then opt to find it via Store. If that is unsuccessful, navigate again to Default Apps and find Assign apps by protocol. Ensure that any related protocols such as URL handlers are not causing conflicts, and double check that WPS Office was successfully deployed.

Alternatively, you can context-click any document file, such as a .Word file, and choose Open with from the right-click menu. Then, select Choose another app. Make sure to enable the toggle that says Use this app for all files of this type before clicking OK. Do the same for each file type you wish to associate with WPS Office. This method is helpful if you prefer to configure each format separately rather than through the System Settings.
