I have windows 8.1 64bit. I have had Utorrent for a long time..and often download torrents and other such things every now and then. Normally when clicking a torrent link it automatically opens Utorrent and begins downloading. No problem.....today...it pops up with the stupid app notification that says "Please select an app from the list to open .torrent files" Utorrent is not listed. Browsing and adding utorrent does nothing. uinstalled and reinstalled Utorrent twice, and Vuze once. They prompted me to make the program the default for opening torrents and magnet links. i agreed. It still doesnt open them.

I dont know why my computer is not not recognizing my torrent software but this is bothering me...manually downloading and opening with the client seems to work...but just lick download no longer does...how do i fix this?
