    Over 20 notifications default app has been reset


    I have been creating Windows 10 images for a while now. I have my set way of doing it. Recently, when a user signs on for the first time, there are over 20 notifications that a default app has been reset. So I clear all notifications and go to Settings > Apps feature > Default Apps > Reset to Microsoft recommended defaults. That seems to fix it for the user for now. My boss thinks it's me and my image. I am creating a new image and am going to try and make it so it doesn't do that as a part of the default profile. She wants me to figure out what the cause is. I just don't have the time to research it. Especially if there is a fix. Does anybody have this issue and know the cause?

    I am working with Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019. I use the Microsoft deployment tools such as copyprofile to set the default profile. I am creating a brand new image and after running windows updates and signing into another profile it happened. With nothing installed. Just the OS and Updates. It can only be an update right?

    I hope this is the right place to post this. And let me know if you want additional information. Everyone gets mad at me here because I didn't give some piece of information. Desperate for help.

    That tutorial is out of date. Windows kindly reverts the changes the scripts make to your registry. Not sure when, but Windows API changed and now rejects any changed to file type associations (FTA) made by 3rd party apps.

    Here is a description of SetuserFTA written by Christoph Kolbicz, a tool to change FTA -
