The new Default App Setting is way to advance and confusing which is unecessary complex for home users. I wanted to change the default file type for Photos and Videos but I there is no jpg, png, mp4 types of file type showing when searching to change it's default app. Also I can't change the default app using explorer open with because the checkbox for always use this app is missing for both Photos and Videos. Also there is no Open with the file property too. Help Me Anyone.

    Hi, I also have the same problem, many file types (.mkv, .avi) do not exist and are not found. I simply updated Windows 10. The command posted above also gave an error and did not solve the problem. How can I do?

    I solved it by installing this program https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html and going to check the properties of the files that I don't windows, I also delete a strnga from the registry that these files had more than to those visible.
