Hello,

I have a problem: Windows 10 (pro 64bits) have asked me with which program we open a psd files and after I answered (with photoshop cc 2018) he has changed my icons by the photoshop cc2018 icon (not the Ps files icon but the app icon (exe)).

How can I fix that?

Thanx

incorrect icon

I bought photoshop for monthly and Adobe Illustrator I restarted my computer and it's gone.

I fixed this problem on my PC using information I found here: https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/change-default-icon-file-type-windows/

I added a DefaultIcon key to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe through the Registry Editor. I set the (Default) (type REG_SZ) to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Photoshop.exe,1".

After logging off and back on, my .psd file icons returned to the default Photoshop file icon (rather than the Photoshop application icon).

Guys, what fixed the problem for me was that I right-clicked on the .psd file, clicked properties, then I chose photoshop on the 'opens with' option. That automatically fixed all the .psd file's icons. Hope it worked for you!

For what it's worth, I had the same problem and it was truly relentless. I tried all the file associations, registry, etc. For me the problem only began after the Photoshop 2019 installation, and only resolved after reinstalling photoshop (with creative cloud) and then choosing "Open with" and checking the box "always open with this app" and then choosing photoshop. Go get 'em.
