Short answer: Windows 10.
A bit longer answer: Windows 10 decides default programs, not the
programs, so there are no longer any easy way to set default program
programmatically. Also with every feature update those are reset to
whatever M$ thinks you should be using (Edge) and you need to set them
again.
There are plenty of examples in the net how to import/export file
associations using GPO and XML and stuff like that, but any
"setasdefaultappuser" -type switches wont work anymore. Not easily
anyway. At least I don't know any easy method of changing that.
