    Hey,

    So I did a super stupid thing accidentally. I was opening a trainer (the newest Subnautica one) and it asked if I wanted to allow it to make changes to my computer and then asked me to associate it with a file type. I was spamming the Enter button and accidentally set the association with 7-zip. Now the program will run and then quickly close using 7-zip and I can't find a way to unassociate the application from 7-zip. Since the trainers are applications and use the .exe file type none of the usual registry editing solutions work as there is no .exe file type listed, for obvious reasons (each application should be running itself). Does anybody know of a way to disassociate one of the CH trainers from a program? All of the other trainers work just fine and open correctly so it appears this is only affecting this one file. Also, tried downloading older versions of the trainer and those are associated as well. I am praying to the tech gods that I can fix my stupid mistake so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I tried that and no luck.

    Also, no way to fix this by browsing either "Choose default apps by file type" or "Choose default apps by protocol"

    Have you actually hit the grey Reset button in the 'Default Apps' section of the Windows 10 settings?
