I tried to open an embroidery design file (".pes" format) by double-clicking in Windows Explorer. But the file cannot be opened.
The ".pes" file is not associated with Layout & Editing of PE-DESIGN 11. To resolve the file type association problem, follow the steps below.

Right-click on the embroidery design file (".pes" format).
Choose [Open with] from the context-menu, and then, choose [Choose another app]. - The How do you want to open this file? dialog will appear. Click [More apps] in the dialog box.

If the application name [Layout & Editing] is in the list of apps, select it and check the option [Always use this app to open .pes files], and then, click [OK] in the dialog box.
-
If the application name [Layout & Editing] not in the list, choose [Look for another app on this PC] at the bottom of the list, and then, navigate the Layout & Editing executable (Embedit.exe) for PE-DESIGN 11 in the file explorer.
