Win 10 Pro 20h2 doesn't offer other programs on PC for default file associations

Hi


If I go to settings menu to make default file associations for example .xml for which I want to use Microsoft XML Notepad.exe (an xml dedicated program) I get offered a limited number of programs where this one does not appear and the only other option is to get in Microsoft store. This is a clear case of changing something that wasn't broken and much more useful because we used to be able to go to programs default and click on any of a whole list of installed programs for which we could associate all compatible files for that program or have the whole list of programs when going through the file association which both used to reside in the control panel.


Is there anyway to achieve this that I don't know about or did Microsoft just broke very useful features as it did with many others?


Thanks
