Hi Guys - New Calibre user here.

Amazon dropped off my new Kindle Paperwhite yesterday and the firs thing I did was read about this program and installed and started using it. Great app, absolutely brilliant!

I noticed later that all my document related file associations had been taken over by Calibre. I couldn't find any options in Calibre's settings that controlled that so I reset all the ones I needed to through Windows 10's Default Apps and went to bed.

Today while working I've noticed all that work was undone and Calibre is defaulting again to my documents. =/

I did a quick search on this form and saw some rude guy talking about the same issue in 2015 - not many helpful answers there. So I was wondering if in the last 5 years someone has found a solution to this problem on Win 10?

Thanks.
