"Open with..." dialog command not working.

When you right click any file, you can see the Open with... dialog.
When I click it, nothing happens.

I kept on waiting but the Open with window is still not popping out of my screen.

Well I tried this solution that was recommended to me by others:
Settings > System > Default apps > Choose default apps by file type
But when I click Choose a default or a file that already has a default program, my desired app will not show on the selection and lets me choose an app on the Store.

Please help me! It's making me angry trying to find a solution for this!
(I USE WINDOWS 10)

Use this tutorial:

First Remove the Open With from the Context Menu, then Add it back.
See if that works.

Go to Step 3 Remove_Open_with_context_menu.reg > click the Download button.
Go through step 4 to 7.

Go to Step 2 Add_Open_with_context_menu.reg > click the Download button.
Go through step 4 to 7.

If that does not help, my suggestion is to do a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.

No it still doesn't work. Removing and adding method it really convinced me so I tried yours. I've followed the instructions carefully (Download Remove_Open_with_con....., Download Add_Open_with_con.....), but when I go to "Open with..." > "Choose another app", it still won't come out.

When I type it, it says "You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility."
Little help please?
