Windows 10: I got an incorrect type of file, because I accidentally clicked it.

I got two comparisons
the first one was mine: The underlined part is the incorrect file.



The second part is the correct one. The underlined part is what I wanted.




The issue is, that I can't seem to figure out on how to fix it. Even if I find a program to open, I can't still to figure it out.

Anything helps me.

I got a new game, but I can't play it because of a pop-up window

Hi,

There are several causes why you can't launch your
games and apps. A possible reason as to why you're encountering this issue is due to the game's corrupted components.
To isolate problems with Fallout Shelter, here is a link on
how to download and use Apps Troubleshooter.



Don't forget to let us know how it turns out

 

I got a new game, but I can't play it because of a pop-up window

I recently downloaded a game, Fallout Shelter, and I opened it up, trying to play. While on the loading page, a large black window opens. It looks like a usual window, with the rim on the top with the X to close the tab, but the rest of the window is completely
black. The odd thing about it is that the window will stay open for 3-10 seconds, and then disappear for 10-15 seconds. The game, behind this window, cannot load. This problem had happened once before with another game I had gotten, Minecraft. It took a few
days, but eventually it went away. This pop-up will not go away. None of my other games or applications have run into the same problem. I have checked task manager to try and spot an application that seemed off, but everything seemed fairly normal.

 

Hi Erifgocw

I'm not really following but you could try this.

Start => Settings => System => Default apps --- Scroll down right hand side and click on "Choose default apps by file type"

Scroll down to the file extension in question, click on app right hand side, choose the app you want.

Another way would be to "Set defaults by app" which is just below the selection above. Find your app,"Tablet preference utility" then click "Set this program as default".

I tried on what you suggested from the very start. I bothered to try it again, and it's still not fixed for me.

 

Well if that doesn't change it then you very well have to manually alter the registry.

Found this thread. Maybe you can request your file type be added. That said if you alter the registry it is likely you will have to re-install program to get it to work again.

Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10

Apart from the name associated with file if the right program is associated does the program function properly. If it does I'm not sure I would be changing.

I wondering if the fix may be as simple as uninstalling program and then re-installing.

See if the other thread meets your needs. I would proceed with caution when the registry is involved.
