How to stop Windows asking what app to use when Fallout 76 runs?

How to stop Windows asking what app to use when Fallout 76 runs? This does not happen on other Steam games. Playing on the PC.

Are you launching it thru steam? It shouldn't ask you in general.

Ask game own forum,
pipboy in fallout 4 was also a mobil app, maybe its something like game own forum will know this.

there are no other apps like the pipboy one for fallout 4.....this is a local issue to the PC and how something is set.....

I am playing through Steam and tried the Fallout 76 community, no luck there. Thank you for the suggestions.

This tends to happen when you use alternative ways to play a game or load something up before you load the game, like a cheat program or some kind of mod uploader. Are you using any of these methods?

I know from using frontloaders myself on certain games this happen. But why are you doing this to a online game which makes me curious. I tend to only use them on single player games.

NOTE: This has been normal for windows to do since windows 7. It is supposed to do this in case you want to load a program a different way. For example, you want a mod or go directly using a manual exe to load it up. It will never go away if you used some other method to load up fallout 76 before. The only way to prevent it from coming up is either load the program the way it was meant to be loaded in steam (this method is not applicable for you now), or permanently make the other loading method you used permanent and make windows remember it permanently.

No mods and no cheat codes.

Ask Behesda game support or steam game forum, they have support and maybe other know what it could be as steam user i do not get it either, we have seen games like GTA use mobil so other media or app could be need for things like taht even seen links to other game open and need pdf for help ingame so, yes things like that can happend, but later it was also a issue with it.

but gl with it.

And dont forget we are steam users here, we are not support.

Yep and the last resort when Bethesda gives the robotic answer to all questions. Thank you all.
