I am using Windows 10, I already have Windows Live but it doesn't work properly with my new ISP so I downloaded Thunderbird and set it as my default email client, however when sending emails it still selects Windows Live how can I stop this from happening?

Do you have TB as the default program under Settings/System/Default apps, and also for the MAILTO protocol (Choose default apps by protocol)?
