Description
Steps to Reproduce
Install Sysinternals Suite from the Microsoft Store
Package example:
Microsoft.SysinternalsSuite_2025.11.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Create or locate an existing .rdg file
Double-click the .rdg file
Or attempt to assign a default app via
Settings ? Apps ? Default apps ? Choose default by file type
Expected Behavior
.rdg files should be associated with Remote Desktop Connection Manager
Double-clicking an .rdg file should open it in RDCMan
RDCMan should appear as a selectable default apps for .rdg
Actual Behavior
.rdg files have no association
RDCMan does not appear as an available app for .rdg
There is no supported way for administrators to force the association post-install
Notes
This appears to be due to the MSIX manifest not declaring a fileTypeAssociation for .rdg for the RDCMan app entry point.
Because this is an MSIX/Store app:
Traditional EXE-based associations are not possible
Registry-based workarounds are blocked by design
DefaultAppAssociations XML only works for new user profiles and is not a complete solution
The portable ZIP version of RDCMan does not have this limitation
Request
Please add a .rdg file type association to the RDCMan AppX manifest in the Sysinternals Suite Store package so .rdg files can be opened normally.
