I wish it did also. I would expect it to normally be "bbw64.exe". Click on [Change], then click on "More apps", then scroll all the way down and click on "Look for another 'app' on this PC". Locate and select bbw64.exe. This is one way to change your file association in Windows 10, at least it usually seems to work for me.


I described how I identified the launched executable, it was bbw64.exe if clicking the desktop program icon, and bbw4.exe when clicking on a .SGU file . Use the help-> "about Band-in-a-Box" menu entry, which displays the name of the .exe file along wirh other things.

problem SOLVED when following this exact sequence of operations:

- right click on a .SGU filename

- select "open with" then "choose another app"

- the "Band-in-a-Box application" which is listed is wrong (it's the one currently used). Scroll down the list and click on "choose another app on this PC" located at the list end.

- file explorer pops up, navigate to the bb folder and click on bbw64.exe. Before clicking, make sure to tick the "always use this app" button otherwise the association isn't modified


Must do that for every type of BIAB file extensions like .MGU which you may use.
