Hi Imad,

i had already tried that, see first image below, it shows the logo but not on my files in explorer, when I go to change (see second image) not many choices and the autocad cad one doesn't work either

1. In Windows Explorer, right-click a DWG file and choose Open With > Choose another app (or Open With > Choose default program in older Windows systems).
2. In the next window, select "AutoCAD DWG Launcher."
3. Select the checkbox for "Always use this app to open . ...
4. Click OK.

Changing the default app from the context menu didn't work for me but doing the same  from Windows Settings > Aplicactios > Default Apps sorted out the issue.
