Can't Set Photoshop CC 2019 (v20.0) as Default Application for JPG, PNG, TIFF, or PSD Files
Since the upgrade to PS CC 2019, I can't set the default to this version of PS. The only option that shows is PS CC 2018. If I choose, "Look for other programs on this computer", navigate to the PS CC 2019 .exe file, and click on it, nothing happens. The same is true of the "Choose default apps by file type" menu in the Settings area of Windows 10.
I know that I can do so by changing the associated file type in the Registry, but I shouldn't have to go through all of this extra work and time just to do this. Is there a fix for this? If I remember correctly, this was an issue for both PS CC 2017 and 2018 as well. What is going on Adobe?
