Cannot set default programs and set program associations completely - Microsoft Community

-

hi!

i've switched chrome firefox , realized couldn't set standard browser or application matter anymore. don't know when took place, it's worth noting had roll creator's update due display driver errors , long startups occuring. currently, i'm using 1607 again , works fine, i'm not sure if rollback had it.

either way, after switching browsers noticed no matter do, i've been unable set firefox standard. i've uninstalled chrome , windows revert using internet explorer.

when enter windows 10 settings set default applications can select programs want nothing happens, example default browser selection stays blank. if attempt select else, new music player example or revert windows defaults outright crash "window not responding" , close no changes made.

when attempt set firefox default browser in firefox' setting open separate system window called "set program ssociations" i'd assume list of programs can select defaults, list blank. supposed way?
