    Hi Tibbur,

    I'm Rodrigo, Independent Advisor and I will help you.

    There isn't a default app to open .css on Windows. If you want to reset it to no default app you will need to change it in registry editor.

    To open the Registry Editor: Open The Start Menu, type regedit and press Enter.

    Go to the path below (you can copy and paste on the address bar)

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.css

    Expand the folders under .css on the navigation panel and delete "User Choice", it will reset the file association to no program.

    Hello, my name is Aiden, and I help people with hardware/software issues, and questions.

    There is a easier way than editing the regristy. In File Explorer, right-click a file and choose Open with > Choose another App.

    Hope this helped,

    Aiden
