Windows prompts to set default program, every time I update MPC-BE

I don't see the familiar 'always' box when prompted.

Hi, could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

That Windows is prompting you to select default programs suggests the program is doing something it really shouldn't. Perhaps it's update procedure includes what is normally done on uninstalling one... removing its associations. If so, that's abnormal, and Windows is just reacting to it. E.g vlc player updates don't cause that to happen.

Tried asking them? Doesn't seem obvious:

Want relief from the updates? Perhaps you could stop ET calling home and block the program using Windows Firewall.

Looking at the site, it says 'Last update 2 hrs ago' - which appears to refer to the program, not the site.

Next time you run an update, before playing a video, check these settings ....

Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Video player

Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Choose default application by file type > (check the settings for some video file extension types)

Open the program's settings > is there an option to select file associations?

I'm inclined to agree with dalchina above. Appears very much like MPC-BE is the problem, not Windows 10.

This app is already selected as default for most/all video types. I don't see the familiar 'always' box when prompted.

I know what you're saying/meaning here, but need to check how you're getting to this point - detailed steps, please?
