I installed the latest stable version of Cura 5.6 from the official website. After installation nothing changed. Windows still cannot open the application when clicking on STL files. Okay, this has been going on for a very long time. I didn’t know that this could be such a serious problem for Ultimaker programmers 🙂 Ok, thanks everyone for your participation, I’ll look for an alternative to Cura...

Ok, I understand that I can try to solve the problem by installing different software to clean the registry. But it seems to me that this will only solve the consequence of the problem, and not the cause of its occurrence.

No, it doesn't work. In my first message I left a link to the Microsoft user support forum, where I showed screenshots of this option 🙂 Tell me, why is Cura not updated at all, but simply a new version installed while keeping the old one? Maybe add a choice for the user in the installer? Should I keep the old version and install the new one or install the new one to replace the old one? Maybe we can create an issue in the Cura repository on GitHub?

Hi all. New versions of Cura are installed not to replace old ones, but as new programs. When Cura 5 was released, I decided to remove all the old versions, after which I downloaded the distribution of the new one and installed it. As a result, Cura 5 did not appear in the list of programs with which you can open STL files. However, some “garbage” remains in the system (links to old versions of Cura, the files of which no longer exist in the system). I started a thread on the Windows support forum, but a community moderator suggested that the problem was solely on the software manufacturer's side: https://answers.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/forum/all/problem-after-uninstalling-software/4de84ec8-7814-40b1-8c28-a0e5289d1ada So, instead of just clicking on the STL file, I now have to first launch Cura using the shortcut and then select the file to open. It is very uncomfortable. Please tell me how I can correct the situation?
