Add Latest Version to Explorer Context Menu in Windows 11?

Uninstall and reinstall.

File associations can break in an update if the older version is uninstalled after the new one is installed. The old version takes file associations with it on the way out, leaving them orphaned. Normally an uninstall/reinstall will fix that.

To avoid this in the future, always install in version order and uninstall in reverse version order. Remove the old version before installing the new.

I think all I need is the file location of the V27 executable unless there is an easier way. 

The executable file for Photoshop 27 you’ll fin in “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2026”

There arre normally two different ways to assign a specific application to a file extension in Windows 11

Method 1: Using the "Open with" Menu

This is the fastest way to change what opens a file right from your desktop.

• Find the file with the extension you want to change.

• Right-click the file and select Open with.

• Click Choose another app.

• Select your preferred app from the list.

• Check the box that says Always use this app to open .[extension] files.

• Click OK.

Method 2: Using Windows Settings

Use this method to manage all your file types in one place.

• Press the Windows Key + I to open your Settings.

• Select Apps from the left menu.

• Click on Default apps.

• In the search bar at the top, type the file extension you want to change (e.g., .txt) and select it from the list.

• Click the app icon currently next to the file type.

• Choose the new app you want to use
