Windows 10: Associate a Program

I have Ashampoo Burning Studio. When I had this program in my Win 7 O/S, I would insert the blank disk and I would get a menu asking which program I would like to use. when I installed Windows 10, I no longer get the menu. Instead I get a Message stating -

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default apps settings page."

When I type "Default Apps Settings Page" into my Win 10 Search, I get web related locations only. When I go to Settings - apps - Default Apps, there is no function to allow me to add Ashampoo Burning Studio to the list. When I go to Settings - Apps - Features, there is not way to associate the Ashampoo Burning Studio program to an action.

Any help is appreciated! :


Cheers,
