    File type association is broken after Windows 10 October update.


    In this update its impossible to change "file type --> app" association in the "right-click --> open with" section.


    I reinstalled windows clean from .iso everything normal until I press update and restart.


    I tried two times to make sure.


    And also tried these but no luck.

    sfc /scannow
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    :)

    Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10  


    Not to pester you, but it is inconvenient to "open with" every single time, and I remain quite perplexed why every other possible file extension appears to be listed in "Settings/System/Default apps/CHOOSE DEFAULT APPS BY FILE TYPE" but not .zip. It has always been possible prior to Windows 10 to associate ANY file extension with a default program. I'm not sure what you mean by ".zip is not listed by default." How else would one permanently associate a program with a file extension? The link I gave you, provided again below, as well as others I could find - indicates that that other people have .zip listed in their file type listings. Have you checked your listings available at location I've specified above? I have ... .yps, .z, .z96... and no .zip. Do you not see a .zip extension either but see essentially all others?

    Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10  


    Do you have any idea why I ".zip" is not listed in my "choose default apps by file type"after updating to Windows 10? I have had issues extracting some zip files from one source - but others work -- since updating to Windows 10 and in the process of checking file associations I see that I do not have .zip listed (though do have .z listed). Don't know how to get it listed such that I can check/control the .zip associations. Thanks for any help!

    File associations broken post Anniversary update

    Has the Anniversary update broken the way file associations use to work for portable applications. Prior to the update, any portable program could be set as the "default app" (eg browser, video player) once it had been associated with a file extension eg.
    Smplayer associated with .avi, and it would be visible in the drop down list of known video players. But now it looks like it doesn't applear in the drop down list, unless I manually set many file associations to a portable app, and then it _might_ appear.

    Another issue is when I change the "default apps", not all the file extensions are changed to the new app, eg. setting smplayer to be the new default app for video player does not change .divx or .m4v which is still set to the built in "Movies and TV".

    Is this problem also related to Anniversary update removing classic shell?
