Windows doesnt know how to open .unity or .unitypackage files

Unity Engine

I am having an issue with windows 10 not knowing what application should open a .unity file or a .unitypackage file.

I have tried pointing both the scene file, and the package to unity editor, but it just opens up the Unity Hub.

Windows will not automatically recognize these file types or know what to do with them.

I haven’t had this issue before, I installed 2018.3.11 and this started this afternoon.

Is Unity already open with a project open?

You should open a Project in Unity, and open scenes or packages from there. It’s sorta like “Microsoft Word doesn’t know how to open a paragraph file.” It only makes sense in context of a project.

open regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Unity.exe\shell\open\command
“Your unity path(find that unity.exe)” -openfile “%1”
