    Cannot assign standard programs in Windows 11 for some file types


    For some time now some file extensions can't be assigned anymore.For jpg, jpeg, gif, cfg, webm and png it's not possible to choose a app that will be remembered.In the screenshot german version you can see that the option is missing in the "open as" menu, also there is no button in the properties that leads to the windows settings.I already went to the windows settings but these file extensions are simply missing / not showing anywhere.The according programs don't show them, also the extensionResetting all standard apps didn't help, I already tried that.All I know that it's a user setting, s

    Win10 forgets assigned default programs


    It's a real PITA. Not only is it extremely difficult to assign default programs (either no option for "default" or it just doesn't take my choice) for different media, but once assigned, Win10 later forgets the default program and opens it with another.

    For instance: I have assigned all audio file types (mp3, wav, m3u etc.) to open with Winamp. I've done this by manually assigning a default program for every single file type in "Control Panel - Default Programs - Associate a file type...", because every other option failed.

    Later, after a reboot, it still shows "Winamp" in the list of file types. But Win10 now opens m3u-files with VLC player! *Mad Is this a known problem? Is there any solution to this? I'm going hardcore, with registry keys etc - only need the info. *Nerd

    And 2nd question: some file types are not listed under "Control Panel - Default Programs - Associate a file type...". How can i assign these missing file types to a program?

    Any help highly appreciated.
