Windows 10: Where does the UWP Media Player store artist pictures?

I've already read on here that the Artist Pictures in the new Media player can't be changed, but where are the pictures stored?

Windows Media Player - How to display Artist's name

When I play music stored on my computer using windows Music player the name of the song displays in the window of my Bose speaker but not the artist's name. How do I set up Media Player to transmit Artist's name in window of the speaker?

 

Windows Media Player is not in Default apps list in Windows 10

I know, this question was asked many times, but there is still no answer that can actually solve the problem. There are steps to get the WMP in Windows Optional Features, install it if missing, etc. - I did all that, and now WMP runs and plays media files. However, there is no way in Windows 10 to set it as a Default App to play media file types.

• Go to "Default apps" > "Music Player" > "Choose Default" - WMP is not there.
  
• "Choose default apps by file type" > ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - WMP is not there.
  
• "Set Defaults by app" > Windows Media Player is here! > select "Manage" > find ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - the only choice is "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store".
  

After a long time spent searching I found this article: https://www.ghacks.net/2016/02/16/how-to-make-any-program-the-default-on-windows-10/

Apparently after 1803 you are supposed to use hackers tools to set the Microsoft's own Windows Media Player as default. I used FileTypesMan as was suggested in the article, but when I try to change assignments for .mp3 files, I get "Error 5: Access is denied" from the tool. Also, if I right-click on an .mp3 file and select "Open with..." it still suggests me to go to Microsoft Store, open with Notepad, Paint, Word, but not Windows Media Player.

What is the proper way to make WMP the default media player, so it shows up in the Default apps list?
