Windows 10: "Open in visual studio" set as default for opening folders

Hello,


So recently I don't know why visual studio is being opened whenever i open a folder, In order for me to open a folder i have to right click and open in a new window.


when I right click the topmost opetion and the option in bold is "Open in Visual Studio"..


Is there a way I can fix this without having to uninstall VS ?


Many thanks

Folders not opening

If these are mostly File Explorer files and folders that are opening now with Visual Studio, try restoring the File Explorer app to defaults at Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Set Defaults by App

 

How To Set 'Folder' To Open With Default Program?

I know how to set Default Program to open a file type, but I have one folder set only with code examples (I'm taking a course on Unity and C#). To make it easier to distinguish from my actual code and the code examples I would like to open the CODE EXAMPLES
with something different than Visual Studio.

I've searched for awhile now, but can't seem to find an answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Visual Studio (.NET Framework)

Do you still have the Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager still installed?

If you have it still installed and it opens up correctly, you could try removing all additional packages that are installed, and try reinstalling them again. It could have been a corruption issue relating to package extensions that you may have installed
into Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. If that does not work, go to apps in settings, and select Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and select repair. If that does not work, you could try going to TechNet, and asking there for help. It could be a
bug with the current version of the .NET Framework 48 or with the recent version of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

If you can not find Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager, unfortunately in this situation the only thing I can think of is if you still have the installation file that you downloaded from the Visual Studio website. If you can't find that, then
I suggest that you download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, since the 2017 Community edition is not given for free anymore unless you have some sort of subscription. However, I suggest that you still check with TechNet before taking this step.
