Has the Set Program Access and Computer Defaults Feature Been Removed from Windows 10?

I would like to ask if the “Set program access and computer defaults” feature in Windows 10 has been removed. I cannot find this option now and do not know how to set the default program.

    This feature has been removed. Please go to Settings > Apps > Default apps to manually set the default program.

    The "Set program access and computer defaults" feature in Windows 10 has been replaced or integrated into the broader Settings app in recent versions, which can sometimes make it less obvious to find compared to earlier Windows versions.
