The file type dialog has the most recent fitting options. I get asked for NotepadPlusPlus most of the time, which is not a Microsoft application.

I opened a PDF yesterday and it showed me the prompt, even though my default had been set. In the prompt Edge was in its own special top element (below the current default but above the alternatives) with a name like "microsoft's recommendation".

This occured just after a system update. It might even have said that edge was new and improved, but I am not sure on that.
