    Windows 10 File Associations

    I am unable to persuade W10 to accept VLC media player as default music/video program. Can anybody advise me? It's installed on Drive D, not the Windows Drive - I don't know if this makes any difference. (C:\ is a small SSD which I want to reserve for stuff which needs to load fast)
