No matter what I do I cant get files to be associated with sublime. When you check the box for ‘always use this app’, nothing happens. You can use the open with system to open a file in sublime, but the always use never sticks and the icons don’t change as they should. Even from the ‘default apps’ interface in windows 10 you cant set sublime text. I shows up as an option, but when you click it nothing happens. I tried the portable version and the install version, same result. I also tried all the registry delete tricks and am still stuck. This works on all my machines but my new HP windows 10.
Windows 10 failing file association

Windows 10’s file association handling is a nasty buggy mess.
I use portable ST with the following registry file to associate files in the very old fashioned properly working Windows 95 way. 
which makes them available for all users.
Just add the extensions you need.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\sublime_text]
@="Öffnen mit Sublime Text"
"Icon"="\"C:\\Apps\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\",0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\sublime_text\command]
@="C:\\Apps\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe \"%1\""

There’s a bug in the latest Windows 10 update that breaks file associations with 32 bit apps.
