    W10 keeps asking for what program to open a file with


    Hi, W10 randomly keeps asking what program to use to open a file, but the filetypes and programs are already associated and been working before. It even knows what's the program to use when asking for it. I need to confirm everything then it's ok for a while, until it randomly asks for it again. Why is that? Some update f*#ked something up? Or is it M$ nagging so maybe I choose to use their applications instead of mine? How to fix it? It's happening on all W10 pcs here. Thanks.
