I have been frustrated by the issue of Windows 10 not offering the option of selecting a desktop application for setting the default program when you are trying to do this through Default app settings > Set defaults by app > Excel 2016 > Manage. Using this standard approach, only the “Look for an app in the Store” is shown (i.e. it is not possible to choose a desktop app) – I am using the desktop apps of Office 365. This was so easy to do in earlier versions of Windows (through Control Panel).

The fix described here is simple and it works (luckily, Microsoft has not been successful with clobbering Windows/File Explorer, as it was with switching everything away from the powerful Control Panel to the dumb Settings app). Thank you for taking the time to post this!
