Hi again, Well, I'm really liking Windows 11, I like how if you have two windows open, and you click on the one not showing it minimizes the one on top and expands the other, instead of putting the smaller one on top of the larger one maybe Windows 10 would do that two, but it wasn't on my...

When opening a file not already associated with a program, or using the "Open with..." menu in the context menu, I cannot select my own programs to open the file, as clicking "More apps" or "Try an app on this pc" does nothing. This extremely annoying as I cannot open even an image or a text...
