Windows 10: OpenWith not listing app choices from within Capture One Pro 12

I was just updated to Windows 10 Pro image version 10.0.17763.316 and for a few days, everything worked fine. Then, one day, when I opened Capture One Pro 12, Capture One did something weird and crashed. I launched CO again and everything seemed fine, until I went to edit a file. Previously, when I picked "Edit With" or "Open With" I got a drop down list of available programs. This time, after the crash, I only got a "Show Plugins" or "Browse" choice. Selecting the "Browse" let me choose and open a program, but the program would not be saved to a list.

Additionally, when using the "OpenWith" option in another area of CO to do some editing, I get the same empty response.

In CO, all the programs are listed correctly under the "Plugins" tab, and before the update would show up properly whenever the "OpenWith" selection was used.


This does not occur in any other program I have, at least to my knowledge, at this time.


I have talked with Phase One, deleted the program and reinstalled it, ran sfc /scannow,
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth (both which indicated there was no problem), ran a registry cleaner (which helped get rid of lots of junk), found a reference on the web where MS OpenWith program has/had a bug with Windows 10, but I have not played with registry entries.

I had a similar experience with another program I run, ProSelect, where Windows went and deleted the registry entries for that program and I had to reinstall it again and re-register after updating.

I found that the previous version of Windows ran better, but I can no longer restore that version.


I suspect this is a registry issue of some sort and would like to know if you have any idea as how to check that "OpenWith" is running properly, how I can get the registry keys regenerated, if it is a registry problem at all or if this is a bug.


CO says it is a MS problem.


Just to let you know, I have worked in IT for quite a while, working with Windows ver 1.0(!) (not 10!), WFW and NT Server, but since the Vista disaster I backed off playing with Windows in depth.


Thanks

OpenWith context menu issues (changes compared to Win7)

Yes, I already used that tool. Nice to see which apps can be in the list, but only for existing applications you can enable/disable/remove them.
Not to create a completely new entry in the list.

Maybe I should phrase the overall question to be more specific and discuss just one case which everyone can try to achieve in Windows 10:

- We invent a new file extension for which no application is assigned for sure:

.XYM

- We create a list under "Open With" which contains 3 batch files to open this new file type:

OpenA.bat
OpenB.bat
OpenC.bat

- Preferably use the build in Windows tools/setup screens etc to create such .xym openwith menu
- When not possible, what are all the steps to take in registry to get this working


I started this myself now and I'm not able to get any bat file under the OpenWith.

 

My "Openwith" & "Open File Location" open is disabled and appears greyed out. What can I do to restore it?

I have tried fixing it with registry fix available online ("Openwith missing" fix).

I've updated the device.

I have tried scanning it with Bit-Defender for any issues.

Nothing worked.

Please suggest a solution as soon as possible.
