Hi Had fab results with MP3Tag on my Windows 7 PC, but now on my Win 10 PC, trouble with editing export file. On FLAC files, I go Select all/Export then when I try to edit the Export Configuration, I get no result and program freezes. The only output is like the default setting. [mp3tag.txt](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/short-url/fD1pNvLPnLSOSoyzXzICFnVjtgk.txt) (903 Bytes) Hope this has worked. Thanks, Wayne ---

> [@bribiewayne1](#): > > The only output is like the default setting. Which MP3tag version do you use? Is this a new install or one that you "migrated" from W7? Is this a new issue? (I mean, W7 is rather old and has been out of maintainance for some time now) Do you get an export? - the uploaded file is no "default setting", IMHO, it must be a customized export script. Does the export always stop at the same file? What I see as possible problems: the access rights for the various files and folders are not up-to-date for the current user. The file association for export scripts has not been set (usually it should be the WIndows Editor). A data file is corrupt. For MP3s there are utilities around to check that - don't know about flac. ---

Hi Using 3.06a. Brand new computer and Win 10. Newly downloaded MP3tag. I will add some screenshots to maybe describe better. ![Screen Shot 04-22-21 at 05.33 PM 001](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/a/ad2056099ceaa4cb7f4bbdd2a2f94f2b6f73023b.png) ![Screen Shot 04-22-21 at 05.33 PM](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c3199cefd0ae15809b063c3f160af9ab7acf5ab9.png) ![Screen Shot 04-22-21 at 05.34 PM](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b40cee392bfc9d165fa74c3c2d14766be9095619.png) As I said before, worked perfect on Win 7. Thanks, Wayne ---

Is this the installer version from the Mp3tag website or the version from the Microsoft Store? ---

From your website - I just click the download update when it comes up. It is not hard to reinstall after I delete old one with Total Uninstall, so will do this. For certain jobs I can't be without your software. Cheers Wayne ---

Just reinstalled a new copy, still no luck. In the screenshot up the top it has 'C:\users\ezy..................MP3tag\export' This looks strange. ![Screen Shot 04-22-21 at 09.14 PM](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/a/affcbcc7b28322a26930c6e179e465f88499a76e.png) Thanks Wayne ---

It's probably just the folder you've navigated to, I don't think that's related. What you can try is to go to `%APPDATA%\Mp3tag\export` and associate any of the `*.mte` files with your favorite editor (or just notepad.exe) and see if this changes something. It's right click and "Open with..." and then "Always open with..." or something similar. ---

Break out the Champagne - the associate \*.mte files with notepad did the trick. Thanks for all your help Wayne ---
