    They are still there in 1709 - what's missing is any direct link to open them from Settings or Control Panel. Where they used to be, 1709 now has links to the Settings version of those pages. But you can still open the Control Panel version if you know the CLSID.

    @Snappy Phoenix, for this particular page create a shortcut to...

    explorer shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966} -Microsoft.DefaultPrograms\pageDefaultProgram

    ...or use Winkey+R and run it.

    For any others, see...

    When it did not work since 1709, I thought, that it is deprecated and I did not even bother to look.

    Hello Phoenix, :)

    If you like, you could create a shortcut using the command in Option 8 below for it.

    That's better but still not the same as the previous Default Programs screen that we're accustomed to. It's till there because Winaero Tweaker is somehow able to pull it
    Sorry, option 7.

    A blessing in disguise that I can't install 17046, perhaps!
