Question
Wednesday, January 10, 2018 5:30 PM
For 'wipe & load' Windows 10 builds I use an XML file and DISM to set my default app associations and it's been working great.
Now I have built an "Upgrade" task sequence to upgrade windows 7 to windows 10 1511. In this scenario, users already have a profile in Windows 7. When they login after the Win10 upgrade, some of their app associations have changed and they see a lot of info bubbles that say their app associations for specific files have been reset... The XML doesn't work because it modifies the default profile, not each existing user profile...
How are people handling this? I need some sort of command line or Powershell command to run as user context (via SCCM or maybe runonce) and set a list of about 15 file type app associations.
Thanks for any suggestions,
FP

Side comment: Win 10 1511? Really? You know that's officially past its end-of-life although they extended this by six months. Is there a reason you aren't using a current Win 10 version like 1703 or 1709? I don't know for certain, but many upgrade related issues have been addressed in these current versions and your specific issue may have been also.

Thanks Jason,
Yes, there's a reason we're still deploying 1511. I know about the lifecycle and the deadline but I'm stuck deploying 1511 for now...
Is there any solution for the question I asked in the original post?

You can use assoc and ftype.
cmd /c assoc /?
cmd /c ftype /?

I do a "Wipe & Load" with Win10 but am having trouble setting the default app association with DISM as a step in my MDT Task sequence. I found the instructions to do it online but it does not work with my task sequence.
My task sequence builds the image on each deploy. It starts with the Basic Windows installer and then adds software and configurations. Any suggestions on the DISM command or a PowerShell equivalent to set default app associations in the final steps of MDT task sequence?

You need to provide what you actually tried.
The command lines are documented here:

Have you been following the guidelines outlined in these posts on how to make file associations enterprise ready in Windows 10? :-)
"You may have noticed already that file type association has changed fundamentally in Windows 10. It is no longer possible for Administrators to set the default application for a certain file type dynamically. The only remaining option is, to create an XML file containing the desired FTA’s and import it using DISM (only valid for new users) or apply it using GPO (valid for all users on a PC)"
