Can't change setting for jpgs to auto open in Photoshop25 / Mac os

Since the newest Photoshop update my jpgs are always opening in the Adobe Preview app. When I change the settings in "get info" to always open in Photoshop it immediately converts back to the previous setting. I changed it for a test to always open in Illustrator...which worked perfectly. So something must be wrong with the Photoshop25.app...Any ideas for solving that problem...?

File associations are fixed in macOS, not in Photoshop.

In Finder, right-click a jpeg and use Cmd+F to open Get Info, then select PS from the Open With dropdown. Be sure to choose "Change All" or it will change only the one file.

Thanks @jane-e I tried that already. I now installed the previous version of photoshop (V24)...and it works perfectly. It only has a problem with the V25. Confusing!

The latest installer activity (install or uninstall), will take file associations.

If the latest installer activity is an install, that version will take over file associations - regardless of version number.
If the latest installer activity is an uninstall, the file associations go with it and are left orphaned.

At least that's how it works in Windows, but there's no reason to think MacOS works any differently (after all, that's basically the only way it can work).
