    File type association


    I accidentally assigned a .laz extension to be opened automatically with Adobe. When I try to go to the default settings to remove the association I only get the option of associating with another app. How can I remove this entirely or restore it back to were I get a prompt to associate it? I need to be able to extract this .laz file into a .las file.

    :)

    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?

    File type association

    How do I associate file types with non Microsoft programs?

    The application I want to use does not show up in the list. in fact a lot of my apps don't show up in the list. the system then suggest going to the app store and apparently forgets it is trying to find an app to associate with the file type.
