Cannot right-click to open with main Calibre program

Hello everyone,

Since upgrading to Calibre 3.3, I've noticed that I no longer have the option to right-click on an .epub file and select the option to "Open with" what is called "The main calibre program" in Windows 10 64-bit. [See 1st picture.]

Usually this is not a problem since "The calibre e-book viewer" default program is what I need. However, when I need to convert an .epub for my Kindle 3, I can no longer select "The main calibre program" from "Open with" after right-clicking. Either I must add the book from the main program, or I have to constantly "Choose another app" and select "The main calibre program" since Windows 10 does not remember my choice.

I have tried using the Default Programs Editor program to add "The main calibre program" to the "Open with" selections. [See 2nd picture.] However, despite it appearing among the "Open with" selections already, it still does not appear after right-clicking back in Windows Explorer.

I also tried using CCleaner following a suggestion from elsewhere to clean the registry, but that did not work either.

Any help is most appreciated! It's not a big deal but kind of inconvenient.
