Windows 10: Changing file Icons (unexpected results)

Hello

I've tried to change the file icons based on extensions(in Windows 10),for which I used a third party tool called FileTypes Man(I followed this guide), and at the first glance it works, until a system reboot at least.

To be more precise, I am trying to change the PNG files icon to a different one than the JPG's and that thing works at first only to change also the other file's extension to the same icon I changed...for example If I change the PNG file icon to a different one, after a system reboot, the JPG files will ALSO have the PNG file icon...I have no idea why :X

Anyone can help?

:)
