Windows 10 default apps

My desktop computer has Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit, OS build 18362.1016

A couple of weeks ago it reset all the default apps to the MS recommended apps - MS Edge, Groove Music etc, none of which are my preferred apps. So I reset everything to the way I like it. Next startup it's back to MS recommended apps. It's starting to annoy the hell out of me that I have to reset the defaults every time, so how do I make it do what I want it to?

Installing any flavour of Linux is not an option, neither is buying a Mac

It still changes back to the MS defaults when I reboot it though :(

Now that is just plain weird - or typical of MS, depending on your point of view.

Have you tried a utility like CCleaner? It might find lost items in the registry that need chucking out.
