Which phone? Where are these files from? Is install from unknown sources enabled?

Welcome to Android Central! Which file manager are you using, and where are you tapping to try to open the apk?

Many thanks not expecting a reply so soon but that's great

it is an Android TV boxH96 pro not sure if it's I'm in the right group

I was going to install another file browser but it won't let me run anything including MP3
as you can see it shows a tick mark and does nothing else I was thinking it's associated with the wrong App something like that
the mp3 looked like it was associated with Gallery in the file browser I went to Gallery and I could run it from there

I am thinking about resetting the unit and starting again but not sure where to get all the apps again like Stremio etc.
also, it would get rid of the constant pop-ups adverts.

Thanks

I moved this from the Nougat forum to the Android TV forum, since Android TV is a distinct interface.

Are you able to long-press it?
