Windows 10: Each time I reboot my computer default applications return to the Microsoft default apps....

I hope someone has a positive solution that works to help. Each time I reboot my computer the default applications return to Microsoft default apps. I have tried using all of the cleanup methods in cmd administrator.Nothing works. Any positive fixes would surely be appreciated. Using Windows 10

Application not showing in default app

Do this for each file extension you want to set up to run with your chosen application:
1 Right click on a file with the file extension you want to set up,
2 Open with,
3 If the one you want is not in the list then Choose another app,
4 Set the Always use this ... checkbox,
5 If the one you want is not in the list then More apps,
6 If the one you want is not in the list then Look for another app on this PC,
7 Browse to and select the chosen application's .exe file, click on Open,
8 It will then open the file in the chosen app.
9 All other files with the same file extension should also run in your chosen app if you now simply double-click on them.


Most of this is also explained with pretty pictures in Option 2 of
Choose Default Apps - TenForumsTutorials
but it leaves out my steps 6, 7. Instead, the tutorial takes a bit of a shortcut that I generally don't take.


If you had only been interested in getting your chosen apps in the Open with list instead of working through to set them as the default app for those file extensions then I would have suggested a different tutorial:
Remove, Add Programs from Open with Context Menu - TenForumsTutorials
and I would have advised you to take note of post #26 in that tutorial thread
Remove, Add Programs from Open with Context Menu [hexaae UWPApps note #26] - TenForumsTutorials



All the best,
