Go to Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Choose default apps by file type. There, you can change the default app based on file extension.

It's a know bug. Windows 10 V1803 is affected. Several blogs and websites are starting to report it. I have this issue too. No matter which way you tryo, you cannot set the file association to some softwares (in my case I can't set jpeg to Adobe Bridge, for example). Hopefully MS will fix it in the next patch. Until then you'll have to live with the problem.

I don't know who down voted but this is definitely the correct answer, while the other answer is a work around that doesn't actually fix the issue. – Astrydax Nov 07 '18 at 21:45

I upvoted because the downvote wasn't legitimate. This is the correct answer introduced in the [17134.345 build](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4462919/windows-10-update-kb4462919). Microsoft claims to be `working on a resolution and estimates a solution will be available in late November 2018` but I bet they will be late to provide a fix – Jérôme MEVEL Nov 22 '18 at 08:47
