How to undo "always open with" option in Windows 10 (1803 build)

I accidentally click "always open with" a particular application on a BibTeX file and now the icons of all such files change to the icon of that app and I cannot find a way to undo the operation. In fact, I want Windows to always ask me how to open
a BibTeX file instead of sticking to a specific program. Thanks for any suggestions!

Here I found some related posts but none of them seem to solve my problem:

• How do I undo "Always open with" option in Windows 10
• How to undo "Always open with" option in Windows 10

Here are what I've tried, but none of them works:

• Execute "assoc .bib= && assoc .bibtex=" in cmd.exe as Administrator.
  Nothing happens.
• In Settings under "choose default apps by file type", remove the default app at ".bib" entry.
  However, there's no such entry.

Hi David,



The above issue might have occurred due to the presence of missing system files and folders on the computer.



Before we assist further, did you try setting the default file type application from system
