Replace Notepad in Windows 10 1909 with Dark Notepad

Yesterday I downloaded Dark Notepad from the Microsoft Store. It is a dark mode version of regular notepad. The problem is I assumed that when I installed Dark Notepad it would replace Notepad....NOT. I now have both notepads and a big problem. I opened
Dark Notepad and created and saved a batch file. When I opened the batch file to edit it Notepad opened the file, not Dark Notepad which defeats the purpose of having it.

It seems when you create a file in dark notepad there is no way to open that file again in dark notepad. The Dark Notepad version is 1.0.8.0. This was not written by Microsoft but by a third party but since it was in the Microsoft store it would "play
well" with Windows 10.

I have Windows Pro 1909 OS Build 18363.592.

I am unable to find out how to remove Classic Notepad and replace it with Dark Notepad which may not even be possible which would make Dark Notepad useless.

 

Replace Notepad in Windows 10 1909 with Dark Notepad

I have tried each of your "solutions" and NONE of them work. Going to Settings > Apps > Default Apps yields nothing of help. Choosing by Default By File Type does not work either when I select the file type "TXT" Dark Notepad is not listed. If I tried
file type "BAT" I clicked the button "Choose a default", the only option was look for an app in the Microsoft Store where Dark Notepad IS NOT LISTED, the same as it was with "TXT".

Even tried "If that fails uninstall Notepad here:

which does not work as there is NO LISTING for notepad.

 

Replace Notepad in Windows 10 1909 with Dark Notepad

I don't find anything from Dark Notepad authors on how to set it as Default. So I would contact them through the link which appear at the bottom of their Download page in MS Store app, which every app maker must provide to support their app. Let them know
you're airing this in Microsoft Community forums where we are waiting to hear how they suggest to do this.

There is another Notepad++ app here that gives some steps which it provides to replace the default in it's Settings:

If your Dark Notepad app doesn't have similar then toward the end of that tutorial there is a registry edit to replace the Notepad default you can try.

Make sure to set a System Restore point first so you can go back if necessary:
