Your default app keeps changing back after every update
Set your default app again after updates, or look for a Set as default checkbox in the app installer and uncheck it to prevent it from resetting.
Software updates reset your default because the installer automatically sets itself as default. You can reset it back (tedious), or find and uncheck the Set as default box during install next time.
