Office documents in Windows 10 timeline saved on onedrive open in browser instead of office app

Hello,

 

I like windows timeline but I am facing a really annoying thing with office documents saved on onedrive. When I click in timeline on these documents they open in browser instead of office app.

 

* For other types of documents (pdf) they open properly in PDF application.

* For office documents saved in other locations they open properly in office application instead of browser.

 

How can I change this behaviour?

 

Thanks,

Frantisek

    Same problem here since installing 1809. Feedback provided via Feedback Hub didn't prompt any feedback. Timeline was a useful Windows feature - pity 1809 broke it.

    Same problem here. Can't find any setting or resolution. Hope they fix it soon because Timeline was useful but now useless.

    Same here. I have sent https://aka.ms/AA48uwm, but nothing seems to be happening.

    Same problem here. Supremely annoying, making Timeline virtually useless as all our files are in OneDrive

    I see the same behaviour, which appears to be new since 1809.
