Windows 10: File extension missing#2

Windows 11 24H2 and I can't associate the HTTPS extension with the default program I don't have it on the list.To open an https link from an email client I have to copy it directly to the browser.

Missing File Extensions

I have Windows 10. My list of default file extensions/programs is missing the .zip file extension. How do I add it back in?

 

Missing File Extensions

The easiest way to add it back to the list of protocols (file Extensions) is to right click a zip file, choose 'Open With' and select the appropriate application. This action will write the necessary registry keys to add the protocol back into the list
of default apps . . .

 

Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

Hi Fred,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

4. Select .flv file from the list.

Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
