When you install a new program with potential file associations or when you open a file type for the first time on Windows 10, the operating system asks you the big question "How do you want to open this file?“, Showing you the app that the system currently uses to open it and possibly the new choices.
This is a behavior of Windows 10 that can be useful in many scenarios but which, for example, if the apps are all correctly associated with the file types, it could be annoying.
In this guide we will teach you how to disable the notification window for installing a new app in Windows 10, so that the system stops asking you - every time you install a new program - how to open the potential associated file types.
The result can be achieved in two ways: using thegroup policy editor (Windows 10 Pro only) ed using the registry. In both cases the procedure is completely reversible.
