Do you have "PC App Store" installed?
Do you have a McAfee browser extension installed?

cool, let us know if that solves it.
Also, I wonder how you got this in the first place.
If you don't know, then you might need to install the ublock origin browser extension even though opera supposedly as built in ad blocking I wouldn't trust it. (while searching this issue a few people had opera in common)

If you can summarise it in a post I'll see if I can help. What exactly are you trying to do, what happens instead, screenshots would be valuable, what fixes have you already tried.
I assume you've tried to change them in the apps-default apps->choose defaults by file type setting screen as well as right clicking and using the open with another app and selecting always?
EDIT: I've not read it in detail but I've seen a few posts which suggest you need to install k-lite codec pack or similar to make VLC file associations work - something to do with the way Windows 11 works when examining media in a folder and building thumbnails that VLC doesn't support out the box and Windows for some reason then reverts to its default when that dependency isn't met.

I've tried everything BUT and a big BUT :
For many years I have used a 3rd party software called Directory Opus, it's the first thing I put on every PC and 2 years ago we even bought 8 licenses for the department at work because it aids our workflow.
I always click on things in Directory Opus but just while selling a piece of equipment to somebody they asked what my band sounded like and Win 11 File Explorer was open so I double clocked a video from there and it opened in VLC.
I then did an MP3 and it loaded into VLC and also a PDF opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro and not in a browser.
So it is working and I've got to try and work out why Directory Opus isn't opening them correctly.
Getting really fed up with Windows periodically miss detecting some script files as Backdoor:IRC/Fserver.gen, files I've written from scratch myself have zero malicious code, etc., and quarantines the file but if I try to restore the file just vanishes totally... fortunately I've offline backups that MS can't **** with but it is getting really tedious.

I created a function to skip the UAC popup as the software needed to load at login as the boss did not like having to start it. The function has not been used for 5+ years as I ported the app to a windows service. The service stopped working a few months ago because defender flagged it, I commented the code out and it worked again. When I coded it, I thought the ani-virus would not like it but it took > 8 years for it to complain and the actual function was not even used in the service.
I've had really slow transfer speeds to my Synology NAS for a while now, I was getting normal speeds on another computer so I knew it wasn't the ethernet cable. After buying a USB ethernet adapter and still getting the same speed I figured it must be something to do with Windows. I finally found a fix for it by disabling these in the group policy editor:
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)
Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)
Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)
Out of interest what speeds were you getting through wifi?
Never tried it with WiFi.
I could have sworn you had said you tested it on wifi, What is wrong with my reading today
I was getting 40 MB/s over Ethernet when it's normally around 100 MB/s.I could have sworn you had said you tested it on wifi, What is wrong with my reading today

I've never thought mine was very fast.
