I have QBittorrent on my computer, and would like it to be the default program for opening magnet links and .torrent files. If I look at the "default apps by filetype" menu, there is no .torrent file listed. If I click on a magnet link, I get the "browse the windows app store" popup to find a program to open the magnet link. No option to select a fucking app already on my computer, of course.

So essentially this means I can't download torrent files. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

EDIT: I was able to resolve this issue by uninstalling and reinstalling QBittorrent. Leaving this post up in case anyone searches in the future with the same issue!
