Windows 10: Can't set Edge to be a default .URL file type opener. Please help

I am suddenly not able to open .URL files with Edge. Does anyone know the reason why?



I can't find the option to select Edge here nor in the settings.



The one on the left was one I made a few days ago and it works fine, but the one on the right doesn't work. It doesn't work for all website links.
