This might help with the notepad behaviour - https://www.askvg.com/solution-reg-registry-files-always-open-with-notepad-in-windows/

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
