htm & mp3 file associations change since latest update version 1511
I recently upgraded/updated Windows 10 Home with the Nov/Dec 2015 update version 1511.
File associations for Web Browser and Music have always been Firefox and VLC
Player respectively, i.e. .htm files open in Firefox and .mp3 files open in VLC.
However, since the update version 1511, every time I zip an mp3 file with WinZip, the file associations for Web Browser get removed and local .htm web pages get associated with Microsoft Edge, and mp3 files get associated with Groove. I then have to manually reset files back to Firefox and VLC through Settings / System / Default Apps and/or use Open With / always use this app to open this type of file.
Similarly, if I zip an .htm file with Winzip, then .htm files get changed from being associated with Firefox and become associated with Microsoft Edge [but mp3 files do not lose their association with VLC in this instance].
This behaviour did not occur before the major update version 1511.
Is anyone aware of what is happening here? Thanks.
