Hi, thanks for the report. Unable to confirm the crash in 4.1
Are any logs generated in AppData\Local\Temp folder? Could you open 4.1 and register the current version to open .blend with that blender version?: Edit > Preferences > System > Operating System Settings > Regsiter

I had 3.4.1 installed then the new alpha version. That was causing a crash in 3.4.1. I've removed 3.4.1 and installed 4.0.2. The crash has gone away now. I can double click to open files now.
