Whenever I open Thunderbird, running Windows 10, it asks me if I want to set Thundebird as my default for email. I've checked that TB is set as my default mail client and it is, yet I still get this system integration message every time. Any help would be appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible.

Are you running any other email clients? MS Outlook, in my experience, always assumes that it will be my default email client and without asking, sets itself. Then I run Thunderbird and it finds that it isn't the default and politely asks me what to do about it.

No, I removed the others and made sure that TB was set as the default (it still is showing as the default)
