<p class="v1MsoNormal">That actually works. Yikes. Thats embarrassing :/ :) But Im 100% sure that has not always been the case (at least not at my PC); it used to just bring the already open instance into focus. Anyway, thanks for your super fast response and help :)</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Yes. I have many instances opened concurrently with multiple projects. I too lost the file association with the project qgz a long time ago, due to me having multiple versions on my PC.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">To achieve this, simply use the Windows (Start menu)/Mac (application menu), search for the QGIS application and version you want to use, then click to open a new instance.</span></p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Previously I did the following. Go to Windows Explorer, double click a .qgz file, and that project would open in another instance. </span></p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">At some point, the file associations were lost, and if I double click the files, it asks what application to use, and QGIS is not even on the list. I think this happened after I installed using osgeo4w-installer, for "Just me" (though I'm not sure). </span></p>
