If someone has the same problem, please use my tool RegistryInfo to gather information about the misbehaving file association, then please post it here:On a fresh installation on a new PC, the docx files have no icon and open as zip files; this happens in TC only, File Explorer is fine.

The problem is that in the registry the key "UserChoice" which would normally indicate which program to open is missing, but Explorer is still opening the file with a program. So far I could not find any documentation how this is handled by Explorer.
