Windows 10: Windows 11 search bar open .exe files with something other

My Windows Search opens .exe files, such as installers and .exe portable programs with the wrong program, and Windows Search only allows you to open the file, and you can't see if the file is located and other ... This only happens with Windows Search if I go to the location of the file and open it, it opens normally. Initially, the search was opened with skype share, when I uninstalled skype, Windows search started opening with cmd.

  Open File Explorer.

  Click/tap inside the Search box, then select (highlight) the search suggestion (ex:
  ttt) that you want to delete, and press the Delete key.

Windows 10 Search doesn't include any *.EXE files

Hi,

The .exe files in Windows 10 are classified as "applications" that's why the returned search results are not showing them as .exe files. You need to change the view settings of
File Explorer for you to be able to view them as .exe files. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Type file explorer on the search bar.
• Click on File Explorer.
• Click on View.
• Click on Options.
• Click on Change folder and search options.
• Click on View.
• Under Advanced settings, uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.
• Click on OK.

Let us know if you need further assistance with your concern.
