Windows 10: Apps by file type is no longer an option in Settings

Recently the Anniversary Edition update made a lot of changes. some are okay but I am still finding things that it decided to change some of my setting. I want to switch bask to some of my apps that I used for a specific file types.

My issue is there now a way to select apps by file type i.e. filename.abc is associated a specific application. That use to be an option in setting, what they have now seems very limiting or I just do not understand.

You're very welcome. May I ask which was the fix you needed?

 

What about this Settings element? Settings --> System --> Default apps --> Choose default apps by file type

Boy do I feel stupid! I did not have a big enough window and did not scroll down before. Thank you very much. I appreciate this forum it has been a great resource!

 

You're very welcome: it's always our pleasure to help out when there's a simple, straightforward answer. Alas, too many Windows problems are a cross between an elephant and a rhinocerous: the proverbial "elephino!"
