Uninstalling does not change the Library or settings.

Are you saying that you can't USE THE OS to (default) open non-book files?

This is a File Association issue.
What you may need to do is open the APP you want to normally use and have it take BACK those associations (as the Default App)

I had that happen on W10. I blamed a fumble finger... but,

maybe Windows is making these types as the Default, instead as simply registering that Calibre is CAPABLE (place on the right-click 'open with' list) of opening.
