        Invariably when someone says “the title says it all”…it truly doesn’t…

        Who would reinstall Windows 3 times hoping to solve any problem, let alone this problem…?

          Which version of windows?
          I use windows 10 and notepad++ portable version (without installation) and actually I have the same problem. I’ve googled for a solution but nothing works. It seems it is a bug in Windows or some conflict and I could not resolve this for some file types, e.g. .py files I can’t change.
          What you can do is use some file manager like TotalCommander instead of explorer and set notepad++ as default editor there. Or use Autohotkey to make a script for explorer to open certain file types with certain program.

            You are using Windows 10 1803? There seems to be a bug introduced with the 2018-10 Windows updates, see here.
