Hi. I'm using Windows 10. Whenever I right click on a file, the option to "open with" is grayed out and it can't be selected. This can be annoying because sometimes I want to open the file with another program other than the default program. It was working fine until recently. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your help, but that is not the solution that I'm looking for. I have no problem selecting what program always opens a file. My problem, for example, is I want to right click on a .jpg and select "open with" photoshop to edit it. Only for that one time. I know that I can import the file, or click and drag. Or open it by other mean. But it just annoys me that "open with" is grayed out. I'll keep searching for the answer.

Also, for some reason, Bitdefender is grayed out too and I can't select that to do a scan on a file.
