We have changed the default checkbox while installing VS Code so that VS Code is now by default the default editor for associated file types. We have also expanded a list of associated file types.

• Have some file type associates on your Windows. For example, have Sublime the default for .js files.
• Have vscode stable installed. Update to the latest unreleased 1.60.0 stable build by downloading it from here. You should update by running the installer from the command line with the /silent flag.
• Make sure that file associates are unchanged. Sublime is still the default for .js
• Uninstall VS Code. Now just install the latest VS Code Insiders. Make sure that in the installer "Associate vscode with file types" is checked on
• After the installation is complete make sure VS Code is the default editor for file types which do not yet have a default editor set (sublime should still be the default for Javascript)
• We have added new file types (erb sass diff log mk plist rst cfg cls tex dart for example). Create a file with one of those file types. Make sure VS Code insiders is offered in the Open With menu
