  1. Missing "Open With" Option in Windows 10 Context Menu


    Hi, I've noticed that the "Open With" option is missing from the context menu in Windows 10. When I right-click on a file, I expect to see the "Open With" menu to choose which program to open the file with, but it's not there. I've tried restarting my computer and checking the file association settings, but the option is still missing. Can someone please help me restore the "Open With" option in the context menu?

    :)

  3. Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2 Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs Diagram 'B' shows the extended list I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension. I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option. If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify. I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    Well.. have a look at this:
    Missing "Open With" Option in Windows 10 Context Menu 377575d1666287089t-context-menu-open-windows-suggested-list-gw-done.png
    I took a risk. I've set a System Restore point then installed Gold Wave. It was not present in that Open With list. I used the Default Programs Editor:

    Did you click Save...? You should have seen:

    Note: if you are running as a standard user you may need to run it as admin, if it doesn't offer a UAC prompt.
