[SOLVED] WebUI does not launch when executing a NZB file

Hi everyone.

I used NZBGet on Windows 7 before and when I double clicked a NZB file, it launched the WebUI and started downloading.
Any additional NZB clicked would be added to the queue and seen in the WebUI.
Ever since moving to Windows 10, when I double click a NZB file, it opens a command line console.
Any additional NZB I try to run tries to run at the same time which fails (since all available connections are already used) instead of adding it to a queue.
Where can I find the configuration for this? How to make NZBGet run the WebUI as it used to in Windows 7?

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that if I manually open the WebUI and add files there, it works.
Just wondering about the default nzb file launch behavior.

Thanks again!

There is an option in the installer to (properly) associate nzb-files with NZBGet.

Thanks a bunch hugbug.
I reinstalled it and indeed, choosing the associate checkbox did the trick.
Would be nice to have it as a preference in the app itself but as long as it works, I'm happy!

Thanks again!

On Windows, you can right click a file, "Open With.." then choose NZBGet and tick the box to always open with that.
