Audacity Forum

Audacity did not appear as in the default programs applet until I went thru a restart. After I shut down and restarted (I had also used Audacity to open a song) Audacity appeared as a default option and I was able to do what I wanted. Thank you.

Tried going thru "more options" etc. Audacity did not show up anywhere. Was directed back to the app store but audacity was not an option. Tried searching in store but no result for audacity.

I still think I got everything except I didn't remove some dll(?) files as a message said the...
