Windows 10: Windows 10 - Unable to find a file with no associations

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 and there is a unique problem with one specific file which triggers the pop up "How do you want to open this file?".The pop up works well with every other file and has allowed me to tick a box to associate them with specific apps. However, there is one file comes up every 5 minutes and the pop up does not give me a tick box option to make a file association. It does offer me a selection of browsers to open the file - when I pick any of the browser address bar contains the following:https://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=window+cleaning+suns

Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10  


Not to pester you, but it is inconvenient to "open with" every single time, and I remain quite perplexed why every other possible file extension appears to be listed in "Settings/System/Default apps/CHOOSE DEFAULT APPS BY FILE TYPE" but not .zip. It has always been possible prior to Windows 10 to associate ANY file extension with a default program. I'm not sure what you mean by ".zip is not listed by default." How else would one permanently associate a program with a file extension? The link I gave you, provided again below, as well as others I could find - indicates that that other people have .zip listed in their file type listings. Have you checked your listings available at location I've specified above? I have ... .yps, .z, .z96... and no .zip. Do you not see a .zip extension either but see essentially all others?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
