Double click doesn't open htm/html files

Hi,

in my new Hp EliteBook 850 G4, I've a very strange issue. I can't try a restore, since company gave me it after configurating it and updating to the last version of Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with Windows Update, and the issue was from the beginning.

I've Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox (64 bit version) installed browsers, with Firefox as default one.
Everytime I try to open a *.html or *.htm file with double click, the system asks me in a recursive way to choose one program from a list and if I want to set it as default. It doens't matter if I choose one browser, the system doesn't open the file and ask again same thing.
If I don't double click the htm/html files, but just right click and select Open, everything works!

I've tried to change default browser, with Chrome, Edge, IE, or also to set one of the browser as default for all protocols and supported files...but nothing changes.

I've also tried to force file associations with following prompt commands in administrative mode:

Code:

and other strange thing, is that in the last command response line an additional "%1" was expeted.

Also registry seems to be ok


Code:

has "a" entry with "firefox.exe" value,

and

Code:

there's the key with "FirefoxHTML-308046B0AF4A39CB" value.


So, is there any suggestion to fix it?

Thanks a lot.
