I’ve already installed Visual Studio on Windows 11 twice. First, I install VS2019 Pro, then VS2022 Pro. And in both cases (2 machines, 4 VS installs) files that are usually associated with VS are not looking as usual (the icons). And I mean, usually it loos like this
That is from Win 10 machine with same setup – VS19/22. And nothing was done to have these icons assigned to these files.
Now back to the Win 11 machines, and files like .json and .pdb (and most others) had just a white rectangle icon.
So, I went to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Visual Studio 2022 and assigned VS2022 to most files in there. BTW, 90% files usually associated with Visual Studio, did not have association there. But .pdb wasn’t listed. The only way to go is to assign default app to it (to the extension) but what it does, it just assigns an icon from the app itself.
How do I assign correct icon to the .pdb file and is there a reason why this happens on Win 11? Maybe VS has some Tools-Options, like “file association”, but I have not found it (I know, some apps have it).
