I was trying to install the necessary files for C++, and I updated Atom, deleted the old MinGW, and was reinstalling MinGW, if that is relevant. then I tried to install extensions for Atom and this error showed up saying file needs an app, I don't know its extension to set a default app, and this error seems to be very rare since I cannot find anything on it anywhere.

The error looks like your OS doesn't have a URI handler for atom:// set up. In order to do so, you can go to the Atom settings and register it in the URI Handling tab:
Alternatively, you can always install packages from the Install tab of the said Atom settings, or even use the command-line (e.g. apm install autocomplete-plus).
