Windows Open With and Default Program have always been fraught with mystery and misbehaviour.
Maybe, at some time you right clicked a ZIP and selected Open With because you wanted to open it with something other than the default program. Calibre would have been in the 'open with what' list (somewhere near the top), you inadvertently selected it and didn't uncheck the
use this as default box.
It seems to be much easier (far too much IMO) to change the Default via the Win10 Open With than it was in Win7. I'd rather have a discrete right click option to Change Default Program.
The other day I noticed that Sigil appears in the Open With offer list for PDF's
You can easily add things to the offer lists via Open With but you can't take things out so easily, I hacked it out with regedit. Dunno how it got there, I'm pretty sure I didn't put it there - we shall see if it comes back when I install the next version of Sigil.
