Every time I try to run a program, I get a popup asking "how do you want to open this file". Is there any way to disable this annoying Windows 10 issue? A user on a Microsoft thread I found posted the following:
I found a free tech support site that resolved the problem.
In File Explorer double-click that downloaded zip file, if asked to confirm click on Yes, then double-click on the exe_fix_w10.reg file then click on Yes to continue.
Now try to run a program, if it still shows the error message restart the computer and try again.
Glad you got it working. (Method 3 in the video is very similar to the fix I posted).
