Check the output of "ftype Python.File", it should be:

C:\>ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe" "%1" %*

If it's not, make it so :).  Then configure the Python Launcher
(py.exe) as described here:
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#customization

(You'll probably want your py.ini to look like this:

[defaults]
python=3

)

Hope this helps,
