I'm playing around with Windows 11 in a VMWare virtual machine. Installed fine. Edge browser works fine. But, any time I try to right-click to display settings, or go to the control panel I get a "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page" (see pic). The problem is if I go to the Control Panel - Default Programs, when I click on "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" or "Set your default programs" nothing comes up.
In fact, there was a simple text file. I double click on it and expected it to launch Notepad and show the content. I get the same app not associated error. I had to launch Notepad first, then go open the text file.
I thought I do a check updates to bring Windows 11 to the latest preview version. But, when I use the magnify glass and type in 'check for updates' , it shows 'Check for updates' in the System settings. But, when I click on it nothing shows up.
If I go to the Control Panel - System and Security and click on System, nothing shows up.
It's almost as if Windows 11 does not allow me get into any system related features. Anyone know why?
