Windows 10: How to choose a default program based on file extension

I downloaded some fonts to use in WORD.
I installed a Font Manager called FontBase.
The fonts have extensions of .json and .yml.

I go to settings>default apps>choose default apps by file type.





I click Open with and I see






That leads me to several help pages that all end up with something like "look for the app at the app store."

The app store says it doesn't have an app for that.

I know the program I want to use for the extension. Is there some other way to assign FontBase as the default?



Thanks.

Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

Hi Fred,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

4. Select .flv file from the list.

Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
and search for .flv extension from the list.

4. Click on .flv and then click on Change Program.
