Windows 10: How to UNSET/REMOVE a default app for file type?

I don't want to change it, I want to remove it COMPLETELY. I accidentally changed my .7z file to open with Internet Explorer. So any game file I download opens with Internet Explorer (I wanna sob lol). I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE RESET BACK TO NONE. So far there haven't been any easy workarounds for this?

AS I SAID- I don't want to change my default app for a specific file, I just want to REMOVE the default application, so I have no application assigned for that specific file type (.7z). I stole this exact explanation from someone, because they explained it better than I did, just I did this with my .7z file.

I tried to fix it by choosing default apps by file type, but it's literally trying to make me choose a different app when I don't want one assigned at all.

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 remove a default app for file type for .cur file type

Hello there, I'm Gopal an Independent Advisor. I will try my best to help you.

Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.

In the Settings window, click on "Apps" in the left-hand menu.

Under the "Apps & features" section, click on "Default apps."

Scroll down until you find the "Choose default apps by file type" option and click on it.

Scroll through the list of file types until you find the .cur file type.

Click on the current default app associated with the .cur file type.

You can either choose another app from the list of available apps or click on "Reset" to remove the default app association.

I hope this will help you to sort out the issue. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you!
