Can't set default app for some common file types in Windows 11
I'm using Windows 11 22000.120 co_release.
I can't set default apps for jpg png jpeg and webm. At least those are the ones that I wanted to change. There's probably a lot more. And yet for those file types none of the ways to change default app is working. There's no checkbox to always use the chosen app within "open with..." menu. There's no "opens with..." in properties. Those file types do not exist in the default apps settings and there's no way to add them. What gives? It looks like a deliberate change... But those are very common file types and everyone has their preferred app to browse those files.
