Windows 10: How to change a .ica file default app

Good morning,


I'm trying to open a .ica file in Microsoft edge and by accident I chose internet explorer. Now I'am stuck and cannot open my work vpn network files. I have the correct app installed but can not access it because its not in the Microsoft store. When I go to settings under default apps, I chose "Choose default apps by file type" I went to .ica and internet explorer is my only option. My question is how do I set it back to nothing or associate it with the correct citrix receiver app.


Thank you

:)

 

How to change default app for file type

'Open With > Choose another app' has three step, in the first it only offers apps registered for that file type. If you click 'More apps' it lists all registered apps regardless of suitability. Both these steps have the tick-box for 'Always use...' in my 18363.752. The third step, if needed, is 'Look for another app on this PC'. The 'Always use...' must be ticked before taking this step if you want the change to stick. However, WMP appears at the second step.

For a quick look at a JPG almost anything (including WMP) is more practical than Photos which on my system takes more than ten seconds just to open a photo. The OP is probably not aware that the Windows Photo Viewer is still available in W10, but hidden away. That's my default viewer for JPG.


Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10

And, once enabled, is available in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

 

How to change default app for file type

@Bree - yes, I'm quite aware of this thanks, but as you will see it's missing. I recall reading that clicking the dialogue at a certain point in blank space made it appear, and trying that once successfully, but doesn't seem to help now. Plenty of other similar reports of this option being missing.

Cannot dissociate Internet Explorer from .ica file

I associated .ica by error to Internet Explorer. Citrix Receiver Client should be the default program to open .ica files. Even though it is installed on my computer. When I try to change the default program by type - it only gives me a choice of Internet
Explorer or from the Store - I have already the installed program.

Please advice.
