How do you want to open this file? When attempting to run IE 11

[nick T]

Pic related when I try to open IE 11 and only IE 11.
Run IE
After I select IE in the "How do you want to open this file?" menu , it brings up the view downloads. After I run the iexplorer.exe, I can use IE 11.
Also I've ran MBAM, adware cleaner, and windows defender. So I'm pretty sure it's not a virus.
Also if I open it in chrome, it gives me a download for iexplorer.exe which downloads instantly.
Unchecking "Use this app for all .exe files" does nothing.
I tried forcing it into desktop mode which didn't help
I tried the other modes which didn't help either.

It's just kinda annoying. Can't find anything on google about it except one small forum with no answers.
Thanks in advanced.

I have recently encountered this issue as well, it is really disturbing...
I have no solution though I suspect the cause could be Citrio Browser, since it hijacked IE.
Did you install Citrio Browser before?
