"Open With" dialog - browse and select the app.
That would technically make a portable program "non-portable", as the file association stuff is set in the registry.

>uninstalled and reinstalled
Was it by the Settings app? I had something similar with Dell's shitware and what I had to do is to remove the AppX package entirely with the PoSh cmdlets, e.g.: Remove-AppxPackage -Package "[PackageFullName]"
You will have to acquire the PackageFullName with Get-AppxPackage -Name "Nvidia*".
Then reinstall it back from the Store, hopefully it will work.

I believe winget is also capable of uninstalling it, but I guess it's better to entrust ThesaurusShell with that.
Otherwise, if it fails, dance the tango with DDU once again, and install the driver with NVCleanstall (which you shoulda done it b4 - make sure to download it before the DDU stuff). I believe one of the default switches for the driver customization is to install the control panel. Make sure you unplug from the Internet until you launch it - WU will be cockblocked from autoinstalling drivers from its online store, during its run.

it's $CURRENT_YEAR. HWID and TSForge activation is virtually indistinguishable from a legally-activated system, as it shouldn't leave any file residue (yeah yeah i know, frequently used files and all that).

Does Windows intelligently take care of that, or is it one of these cards every relevant windows sysadmin has to have up his sleeve?
