There are two solutions for the Microsoft Store version of paint.net. I've tested both and found them functional.
The more complicated yet cleaner method (no popup windows) involves adding several entries to the registry as directed by Siezear:
The second method uses a batch file. You change only one line in the registry to call the batch file, but it will briefly open a CMD window for each file you wish to edit. Change the "(Default)" value at the registry key shown below to point to your batch file, followed by "%1", including the quotes.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\Edit\command
To create the batch file, read Elimental's post:

To create a REG file from the entries given above by Siezear, add the following line to the beginning of the file, followed by a blank line, for Windows to recognize it as a proper REG file.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
It MUST be the first line of the file.
