Visual Studio version selector always chooses preview version

Question

I have Visual Studio 2022 Pro and 2022 Pro Preview versions both installed on my system. Since the preview version installed, all my solution files opens with the preview version but I rather like it to be opened with the previous RTM build (in which that solution actually had been created). My current workaround is to rightclick on sln file and choose "Open with...", but this is very inconvinient and sometimes I forgot which can lead to other issues.
It there a better workaround, or maybe set the version selector to prefer different application for current version defined in the solution file?

Hi @Péter Hazai ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

If you want to open .sln file with Visual Studio 2022 Pro version, you can select Start > Settings > Apps > Default apps > Choose default apps by file type.
Then, you can navigate to .sln file and select the stable Visual Studio version you want to open with.

You can refer to: Change default programs in Windows.

Sincerely,
Anna
