Follow-up Comment #5, bug #47696 (project octave):
[comment #3 comment #3:]
> This works for me on Windows 10 with Octave 4.0.1 (instructions e.g. [1]).
You have to select "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host" for .m files. Check
whether the description changes to "GNU Octave Script".
>
> If this is not working for you: Did you use the installer or the zip-dist?
Maybe this is something the installer registers? Try to re-install using the
installer.exe from here [2].
>
> However, a new Octave instance is opened each time I double-click a .m
file.
