Windows 10: csv type not in list of file types in Windows 11

I am trying to get a csv file to open in Excel. My version of Windows 11 does not recognize csv and it is not listed as a file type. I can open with the "open with" option, but the "always use this option" is not available on my machine. Can someone help me to get csv files to ALWAYS open in Excel when I click on them? I use 365 desktop and Excel 2016 or whatever the latest version is.

:)

 

Win 10 2004 does not list .csv as known file type

Settings --> Apps --> Choose default apps by file type --> Associate file types with specific apps no longer lists .csv as a recognized extension.

 

.csv Format And Notepad Question ?

Hi to save as a CSV (or any other file type) you need to use a program that offers to save as that file type.

An example is a spreadsheet program.

Easy to find lists of freeware that handle the format e.g.
30 Best Free CSV Editor Software For Windows

(search for e.g.
free editor csv files
)

 

file type is not included in the list of types to choose from to associate a file with

in "Choose default apps by file type" in Windows 10, there are two file types that are not listed; how do I add a file type to the list so that I can associate that file type with a file. For example, I often receive a file that has a file type of .stmt
and another fle with a file with the name viewdoc.file. They are both PDF files. But neither of these file types are available for me to choose from in the default list. How do I add them?
