Hello @mario andm

Windows 10 introduced the settings for default application as XML files. You can export you current file association and edit or add if needed, then deploy using GPO to a group of computers:

Extract current XML file
Dism.exe /online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\PS\DefaultAssoc.xml

Import XML file association file
Dism.exe /Online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\PS\DefaultAssoc.xml

GPO settings:
Path: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer
Policy: DefaultAssociationsConfiguration
Status: Enabled
Value: UNC path to DefaultAssoc.xml in shared storage

Hope this helps with your query,
