This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

If, however, after binding Apple System Preferences with Apple Provision Profile there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PROVISIONPROFILE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PROVISIONPROFILE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PROVISIONPROFILE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PROVISIONPROFILE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PROVISIONPROFILE file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PROVISIONPROFILE file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PROVISIONPROFILE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PROVISIONPROFILE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PROVISIONPROFILE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PROVISIONPROFILE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
