Thanks for the report, There isn't anything we can do about this as it a Windows issue that requires reinstalling Windows

To set Files as the default app, your user account must have administrator privileges. If it does and you’re still encountering issues, the permissions for the WindowsApps folder might be corrupted. Unfortunately, the most reliable way to fix these permissions is to reset Windows.
