It's both work and personal (Windows 10). I run my own small business. I don't have a "corporate policy".

I was under the impression that Windows somehow challenges apps by performing some type of test, and resets the file associations "for the user's safety" if the apps don't respond appropriately.

May want to look into it with support or something, this isn’t normal behavior. It should retain your defaults (it does on the Windows machines and Windows VMs I’ve made or worked on. My work laptop being the only one that doesn’t and that’s a corporate thing).
