    Every time I install a file windows saves it as a word document


    Every time I install a file it turns into a word document and I do not understand why because it has happened before on different websites and I have seen a friend install the same files that im installing and it turns out fine. i think it has to do with the windows 11 but I dont really know because this is really starting to irritate me. Thank you for your time

    :)
