Try this site for instructions -

OR http://tinyurl.com/zqf5we7 OR http://preview.tinyurl.com/zqf5we7
"If the program you want to use doesn’t appear on the list, click “more
apps” to see all the programs that can handle that file type. If the
program still doesn’t show up, click “look for another app on this PC”
to select it manually using File Explorer."
Worth a try!
Does this work for Win 8.x?
The instructions for Win 8.x are very similar to the Windows 10
instructions I pointed you to. Let's start again!
I started with a Google search for
"how to set default programs in windows 8.1"
You can view the windows.microsoft.com instructions for Win 8.1 at

Doesn't work for apps not either listed or in the store (but installed).
Alek,
I have just installed Cyberfox on my Win10 PC and that proved to be a
bit of a pain to set as a default program - but, I got there in the
end.
Navigate to Default Programs:
Control Panel, then (if using View by: Category ) click “Programs,”
then “Default Programs”.
OR
Control Panel, then (if using View by: Small icons ) click “Default
Programs”.
The Default Programs panel will give you 4 choices. Choose the 2nd
option "Associate a file type or protocol with a program".
Now you should have a list of Extensions.
Scroll down to "HTML".
Double click the program listed under "Current Default" for HTML.
You should now get a list of programs which process HTML files.
Hopefully, Cyberfox will be in this list. (It was on my PC after I
chose the 2nd option and proceeded as described above).
(At this point I restarted my PC. I don't know if this was necessary
or not - just trying to be safe or something!)
Now you should get a chance to start again, this time selecting the
1st option "Set your default programs".
