I'm using Windows 10 version 1803 and cannot change file association via



Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsDefault Programs


After choosing the "default application by type" option, there's no way to browse the file system to search for a specific software/app. The only two options are the file's currently associated software/app and "look for an app in the store" as shown in the below screen shot.





Question



How can I associate the file to another and very specific software/app that I can browse to choose?

There are a couple ways you can do this to workaround that limitation you wrote about where it doesn't let you select other apps to associate, etc. but I'll write a simple solution you can use.






  1. Create a dummy file with the extension you wish to associate with a specific program if you don't have an actual file already (e.g.
    test.region) right-click on it and select Open With



    enter image description here




  2. When the How do you want to open this file? window pops up, ensure that the option Always use this app to open <.ext> files is checked
    and then select More apps



    enter image description here




  3. You will then have a scroll bar that you can navigate to select the app you want the file to open with if it's listed. Otherwise,
    at the bottom of the scrollable list you can select the option Look for
    another app on this PC
    . Then when the Open with window opens you can navigate
    the file system and find the app you want the file to open with and
    double click it and you'll be all set.



    enter image description here
    enter image description here
