default folder explorer.exe

Hi,
I have a problem on windows 10... sudenly there was a change to the default program that opens folders from explorer.exe to cmd. So if I doubleclick a folder it says there is no program assigned to it and doesnt open. Still if I rightclick and click open it opens no problem. How can I make explorer.exe open folder as default again?
Thanks.

I already tried this and it didnt work :-/

Just in case. Please check the following settings..............
Open File Explorer Options > General tab .
Under Click items as follows heading, is there a dot at Double click to open an item ?
If not, dot it > OK when done.

Ok, good, is there anything else you've tried?

Technical fixes here.
Windows 7 Double Click on Folder opens Command prompt
Granted, these are for Win 7, but I'd guess these should be applicable.
Therefore, before you try this, make sure
- System Restore is enabled
- set a manual restore point.

Another option (I can't tell you if it's any different to what you've tried, of course) but useful to know:
Tweaking.com's Repair tool.

Cautious, helps you back up before a repair, select only the repair you need. (Folder assocation)

Thank you that windows 7 types really helped. So if someone else have this problem: Just go to regedit andin HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory delete folders with "cmd" name
or just call your friend with same system and get his Directory regs.


Thank you for help dalchina :)
