Help ZArchiver "forgot" how to open APK files

I'm having issues suddenly with ZA not knowing how to open APK files for some reason.

I've downloaded games in the past through MEGA, and then I usually can find the apk in ZA, press 'open' and then I'll see "Staging app" and then it works. I downloaded an update for a game (that I have played without issue before), and now ZA keeps asking me which app to open the apk file with. It now does this with every apk file, and it seems like no option is correct.

How do I fix this?



I've cleared the phone's cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled ZA, I've deleted and redownloaded the game update apk, nothing is working.
 
Zarchive apk is the best. I have ApkTool X app on my Android but decompiling usually takes six or seven minutes. Zarchiver on the other hand opens the apk almost instantly. Simply long press the apk and tap "open as archive".
