Since around a week ago, setting the Default Apps doesn't work anymore. Here's what I do:



MS Windows Explorer -> Click Right-Mouse button on a file (e.g. abc.txt) -> Open with -> Choose another app -> Select "Notepad++" and Check "Always use this app to open *.txt".



After I do the above steps, the default app does NOT change from Notepad to Notepad++.



I tried the following, but they did not work.




  1. changing the Windows account from local account to MS account.


  2. Settings -> Default Apps -> Choose default applications by file type -> Select ".txt" -> Choose "Notepad++"



Thanks for your effort and time to help...

On a Windows 10 Pro (Version 1803, Build 17134.345) following worked for me:




  • Open Notepad++ as an administrator

  • Menu > Settings to open the "Preferences" dialog

  • Click "File Association"

  • Click "Notepad"

  • Click ".txt".

  • Click "->" to register notepad++ as the program to edit .txt files

  • Click "Close"


As a second step do the same you described in your question.
