A) qbt / Options / Behavior / Use qBittorrent for .torrent files
I would try to untick, the optiona nd Apply changes, then tick and Apply.
B) right click .torrent file and select to run with qbt and tick to make it default.
C) click WIndows menu, Settings, System, Default applications - try to set it there
D) Reboot Windows
E) Reinstall qbt.

if worked, close this issue

Had to restart Qbittorent two times, then it worked.
