MODI file associations reset after windows updates

[news.optonline.com]

After I install Windows monthly updates, the file associations for TIFF is
reset from Microsoft Document Imaging (MODI) application to the Windows
Picture and Fax viewer. In an office of 100 people without permissions to
change associations, the manual fix of clicking on the reset button within
MODI is not acceptable. Is there a fix for this ? I've been finding posts
from people that are having the same problem. Has Microsoft released any
information on this issue ?

Thanks
Nick

No. It happens every month. It's not limited to a single update.

If it happens every month, how do you fix it every month?

Have you opened a support incident yet?
