    MS Word Files No Longer Directly Associated With Word Software


    I've had MS 365 for two years. As of 6 weeks ago, all of my Word files in file manager now have a notepad icon next to them. When I click on them in file manager, unreadable characters open in a notepad document. All Word files affected with this issue have the docx extension. As a workaround, I have been right clicking on a filename then selecting open with Word. How do I get these files to be associated with Word in the file manager and to automatically open in Word when I click on them?

    :)
