I've been trying to associate .php files with Sublime Text 3 for the past few days, in Windows 10. I right click on the file, go to Properties, and under the General tab, I try to change the program which it opens with, which currently, is nothing. It doesn't change, and still shows, "Pick an app", next to, "Opens with:".
I tried to then associate it with Notepad too, in a similar manner, without any success. Suggestions from questions like this indicate some changes in the registry, which I have tried. I've rebooted my laptop after nearly every regedit, just in case. I've also checked if I could change or set file associations for other files, and I failed again, with .css. However, .mp4 and .bmp associations seem to be changeable, no issues (between VLC and Films & TV, and Photos and Photoshop, resp.).
Windows build is 1803. I only recently hard reset my laptop, so I'd like a solution which is a bit less drastic.
TIA

Have you tried the following?
Windows can't open this type of file (.php)
.Try an app on this PC
.always use this app to open .php files
to make the association permanent (at least until the next Windows update destroys file associations).OK
