Windows 10: Unable to change default app by file type

I use a genealogical program with file extension of GED, but MS refuses to let me use Roots Magic as the default app to open the GED files. I have done all methods shown here, and the Windows somehow associates GED files with Photoshop which won't open them as it is the wrong file protocol. The store has its own genealogical database apps that it wants me to use. It won't let me use Roots Magic. Do I have to uninstall RM and then reinstall it, hoping Windows will behave this time and let me use Roots Magic as the default app?

Unable to change Default Apps by File Type


In my installation show up and run without permission, it just shows up in the all add-ons section.
It may work for you but it obviously doesn't work for me.

Unable to change Default Apps by File Type


I'm trying to stop PDF files from opening in IE11, I want them to open in Adobe reader. When I go through the settings menu and get to the screen "Choose Default Apps by File Type" I cannot scroll down that page it stays locked on the top section. A screenshot is attached. Any idea of how I can get down to the PDF file type to change the default?

K, I think I figured it out...

... in Internet Options/Advanced/Security, uncheck 'Enable Enhanced Protected Mode', click Apply and OK, restart PC.

...Or

Disable the Plug-in, open the link, checkmark 'Do not show me the warning for this programs again' and click 'Allow'





Should open in Adobe Reader immediately:
