Windows 10: Others have asked this question in the past, but after trying everything, my default...

This has been happening several times a week, and at times, a few times PER DAY! I change the default browser to Chrome, and then lo and behold, suddenly my default now says "Choose a Default", and Edge comes up until I AGAIN change it back to Chrome... I've changed it in "Default Apps" to Chrome. I've tried "Choose Default Apps by Protocol" changing BOTH HTTP and HTTPS to Chrome. I've tried "Choose Default Apps by File Type" for .htm and .html files to Chrome. AND IN ALL CASES, after a day, two days, or maybe a few hours, I'm right back to Edge - which I do NOT want! WHY? I'm not a computer expert, but this is ridiculous! WHY can't Microsoft accept my choices and stick with it? This is just plain wrong! I've done ALL of the above 2 times today alone! I even did a computer restart - and it still happened. EDGE SUCKS, and I don't want to use it! Don't I have a right to make this choice and stick with it?

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
