Hi Sandria, why do you have not a description ?

Looks like windows10 hijacks the control of appx files. icon handler and menu handler doesn't work but tooltip handler works. I will try to find more to read about this. I labeled this as a bug.

Could it be due to the fact that appx is also the file type for windows store apps, so windows treats it specially?

kkguo commented 5 years ago

Yes, that's what I meant

I think I find a solution for this, it's probably the same issue as #78 , "Open with" is taking control of showing icon on top of apkshellext, to fix it you need to remove the key in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.appx

But this will remove the feature of "double-click to open", and the icon will be override again once you chose to open it with appinstaller... Trying to find a solution for this...

@deadair3210 , please feedback, or I can close this.

Masamune3210 commented 5 years ago

Wasn't the op, just put my 2 cents in

kkguo commented 5 years ago

Oh, sorry @andrizmitnick, any feedback?

sandriaas commented 5 years ago

@kkguo hi, sorry for being late. the workaround is working fine. i thought there might be some fix, but it seems it's just a limitation in windows itself. so, sure we can close this.

thanks guys!!
