1️⃣ Steps to reproduce
File type association > Set as Default photo viewer

"Make default" button not working.
3️⃣ Expected behavior
Photos should set image/supported file types to open with ImageGlass upon making it as default photo viewer.
4️⃣ Screenshots / Video / Sample image file

Run as admin or not, it doesn't want to associate the file types.
I know I'm on a preview update, please close this if that's against anything.
