Files trying to open in their own named apps.
Very dumb issue but I can't figure it out. Windows explorer is basically attempting to open every file in it's own app (atleast that's what it looks like). Whenever I double click on a file, it says the file's directory as the app name and the error says "application not found". I've tried troubleshooting, setting explorer.exe as the file app in cmd, restarting windows explorer and restarting my computer. Basically tried a handful of things but none seem to work.
Any tips are appreciated, thx.
