I can confirm that I can neither delete the association for a file type nor change it via the Associate dialog - Tested under Windows 7 and 10.
But changing the association via the Associate dialog does have some effect, because if I right on the file and choose "Open with" -> "Choose another app..." ("Choose standard program" in Win 7) , then the program, that I associated with in TC is suggested as the default app.
Also in Windows 10 I experienced that if changing association via context menu -> "Open with" -> "Choose another app..." did not work (association stuck with some Metro App/Windows Store app), then if I first associate with TC's "Associate With" and thereafter with the context menu, then I could force Window to change association.
But by itself, without using the context menu afterwards, I cannot mak TC change the association.
