After i was forced to shutdown my pc forcefully with the button, my js files became without a default app, when i click on a js file the dialog box didn't have the checkbox 'always use...' anymore, when i tried to set an app manually from the file properties 'Open with' it didn't change it keep being unknown application.
This problem isn't only with js extension i can't change any extension's default app.
Edit: I can't change it from default apps sittings either, when i choose notepad++ or other programs, it set it automatically to "Microsoft windows based script host" the only program that get accepted otherwise is visual studio

You need then to do it the hard way:
- Open regedit
- Navigate to the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTJSFileShellOpenCommand
- Double-click the
(Default)item - Save its current value as backup
- Enter the new value
"C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++notepad++.exe" "%1"
- And the deed is done.
You may also use the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTJSFileShellOpenCommand]
@=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1""
