Explorer ,
Aug 30, 2025 Aug 30, 2025

Does anyone know how to fix it ? Each time I click a file link  I get this error.   In both regular and   Steam versions coexisting on my laptop.     Should i point  to it in some obsure preference settings or something ?    it's in C:\Windows   on my pc.   Always been there .
