Windows 10 Default Apps reset using BleachBit

Greetings,

BleachBit is working great. I am using Winappi2 with it on Windows 10.

I have most everything checked. Once I run BB, I find that my Windows 10 default apps are back at what Microsoft defaults are. So, I have to reset them back to what I want.

I have looked at the checks for winappi2 and do not see anything obvious. Can you tell me which option I need to uncheck to keep my default apps as I want them?

Thanks in advance

BleachBit version: 
2.0
Your operating system: 
Windows 10 Pro

More than two weeks without even a "get lost" response.

Thanks for the reminder :)

Do you think it is this entry? The warning is similar except for the version number, which could be a mistake.

That seems to be the cause. Unchecked and now my specific defaults stay in place.

Thanks,
