Hi, the message is fairly clear: files with extension .j do not have a program installed which can open them.

It's not one I've ever hear of. Which program do you hope to open it with?

Is your question perhaps
'I have a program which opens files of type .j, but I can't associate it with 'j files using 'Open With'?

 

I've tried to open and change the file extension but it just doesn't open up. It's for a game

It's not just for j files. It's for all the files. It seems it's not letting me associate any file types. The open with program isn't showing up. and Resetting the microsoft default settings hasn't helped me in the slightest.

Normally. It should let me choose another app and show the OpenWith window but it doesn't do it for any files I'm trying to associate with.

 

Can you confirm that Open With is working normally for a file type which is already associated - say txt or jpg?
- i.e. does it give a list of programs that are installed that can open e.g. txt, then Search the Store, Choose another app?

Is your problem ONLY with unassociated file types?

(Using the icon above your post left of the video icon 'Insert Image' is the neatest way to add a screenshot)

Here's what I see for an unassociated file type if either I use Open With or double click it



so you're getting that first message instead..


Ok, have a look at this:
Open with "Choose default program" Error - Fix

 

Yes mine has this problem currently where it doesn't show that box and it is not just with unassociated files. It's with every files on my PC

Edit: just tried to registry fix and that didn't help either.

 

Ok, there are these possibilities.
1. Do you have a system restore point prior to the problem occurring?
2. Have you yet started to use disk imaging (as we strongly and repeatedly recommend) so you can restore an earlier image?
3. Find a specific fix that works as the one above doesn't for you
4. Do an in-place upgrade repair install (keeps all programs and most settings)

Finally - do you know what led to this happening- for example, have you used any form of registry cleaner?

 

No idea what's causing it.

 

You can try one of the methods I suggested in #8. Any luck?

 

the inplace update?

Will this delete all my apps? Because I have a lot of applications and I don't want to redownload them and install them again.

 

Yes, you can keep all your files and apps. This Tutorial describes the process in detail. The easiest method would be to use its 'step 4: To do a repair install of Windows 10 with an ISO file'.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

It would be a sensible precaution to make a image of your existing system before you start. Macrium Reflect (free) is the method most here would recommend, but there is also Windows own 'Backup & Restore - Create a system image'. There are Tutorials for both.

from my #8:
4. Do an in-place upgrade repair install (keeps all programs and most settings)

Here's my write-up on it:
Precede it with this in case sthg has happened to your file system:

From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:

An In-place upgrade repair install will fix many things, but not those where the settings are not changed by the procedure.

For this you need an installation medium with the same base build as you have installed, and x64 if you have a 64 bits OS, else x86 (32 bits).

Recommendation:
Before you perform the following major repair procedure, do create a disk image (see below).

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Tutorials
- this includes a link from which you can obtain a Windows 10 iso file (" download a Windows 10 ISO"), or create a Win 10 bootable medium.

I would recommend creating the bootable medium, as this can be used
- for any future in-place upgrade repair install
- to boot from and use its recovery options should Windows become unbootable.
- to clean install Windows

This will refresh Windows, after the manner of a Windows installation.
- all/most associations will be unchanged
- all your programs will be left installed
- However: if you have installed some on a 2nd drive, these must be uninstalled or reinstalled on C: - else you will get an error message that you can not keep my apps because they arein an unsupported directory.
- no personal data should be affected
- you will lose any custom fonts
- you will lose any customised system icons
- you may need to re-establish your Wi-Fi connection
- you will need to redo Windows updates subsequent to the build you have used for the repair install
- Windows.old will be created
- system restore will be turned off- you should turn it on again and I recommend you manually schedule a daily restore point.
- you will need to redo any language downloads including the display language if you changed that)
- inactive title bar colouring (if used) will be reset to default
- if Qttabbar is installed, you need to re-enable it in explorer (Options, check Qttabbar)
This is one of the better features of Win10: as each major build comes out, that's your updated reference build, and as updates are mostly cumulative, there will be few to do.


Please consider using disk imaging regularly. It's a brilliant way to
- preserve your system (and your sanity)
- back up your data
- restore your system to a previously working state in a relatively short time

Recommended: Macrium Reflect (free/commercial) + boot disk/device + large enough external storage medium.
