The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SRG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SRG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SRG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SRG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SRG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SRG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SRG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 SRG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SRG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SRG to close. However, some background programs may block the SRG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
