    Hello @mario andm

    Windows 10 introduced the settings for default application as XML files. You can export you current file association and edit or add if needed, then deploy using GPO to a group of computers:

    Extract current XML file
    Dism.exe /online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\PS\DefaultAssoc.xml

    Import XML file association file
    Dism.exe /Online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\PS\DefaultAssoc.xml

    GPO settings:
    Path: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer
    Policy: DefaultAssociationsConfiguration
    Status: Enabled
    Value: UNC path to DefaultAssoc.xml in shared storage

    Hope this helps with your query,
