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.

    Awesome. Thank you!

    Still annoying that this is what's required to change just this extension.

    Yes, I have same problem. When I choose any extension, like .jpg .mkv ...nothing appears and I can not choose my favorite app. I just can open by right clicking on single file.
