ICA file type association for Citrix

Can I get Citrix to work?

Like so many of us, I need to use Citrix for work. I have a new Surface Pro. IE pulls up the website perfectly, but the work apps won't open because the Citrix "ica" file opens with WordPad.

When I try to associate it to anything different, by navigating to default apps, then "chose default app by file type", my only options are WordPad and "find an app in the App Store". Downloaded Citrix from the app store, and that doesn't show up in the list of options - even after restart etc. Likewise, going to Citrix's site and downloading a Windows 10 compatible version of the software does not help either. Still WordPad, no matter whether I'm using IE, Edge, Firefox or Chrome.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi HereIsMe_77, resetting a file association on ica files for Citrix can be complicated . . .

    Hi HEREISME_77,

    If you right click on the .ica file, right click, do you get an “open with” option? You may be able to navigate to the Citrix application that way.

    Let me know!
