Cannot get Win 10 to associate STL files with Cura

Posted · Cannot get Win 10 to associate STL files with Cura

Despite having set the defaults correctly, I cannot get it to work. From File Explorer, d-clicking does not open Cura. Same for both 4.90 and 4.91. And using 'Open With...' does not create an entry for Cura.

 

Looks like a Win 10 issue, but so far Cura is the only application that's suffering.

 

I'm not a programmer but it seems that Win 10 is still trying (but failing) to open Cura 4.8.0, based on running SysInternals Procmon tool. I started Procmon running then quickly d-clicked an STL, waited a few seconds (with no Cura opening), then stopped Procmon and filtered the 256K entries by 'Process = Cura.exe' AND 'Path contains Ultimaker'. That gave 78 entries, the first few of which I've pasted below. ALL of them refer to 4.8.0.

 

Win 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1052)

 

Anyone else seeing this issue or able to suggest possible fix please?

    Need help on resolving this serious problem please. Spent most of yesterday and five hours today trying. Meanwhile  cannot open any STL from File Explorer by any means, except opening Cura first and dragging the file into it. Did not have this issue with 4.9.0

     

    In case it helps here is my log file:

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
