Cannot change default program for ".js" files

Hello,

In the latest version of Windows 10, I am unable to change the default program that opens when I click on a ".js" file. The default program is stuck on "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host."

I've tried to change the default program multiple ways:

1) I've right-clicked on it, selected "Open with" and then "Choose another app". I selected a new program (in this case, the Atom code-editor), and then selected "Always use this app to open .js files." Doesn't work. The default remains Microsoft Windows
Based Script Host.

2) I've gone to "Choose default apps by file type" in settings. Still doesn't work. Default stays the same.

3) I've gone to a .js file's properties and then clicked the "Change" button next to "Opens with." Still doesn't work.

I'm able to change the default program of other files, I just can't do it with ".js" files. Is there some new security feature in Windows 10 that prevents changing the default program for script files such as .js files?

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Zach
