After performing an update today, KDE stopped recognizing the applications associated with files and no longer allows setting a default application.
This issue occurs not only in my user account, but also in another user account.
As an infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
The Update Announcements should be checked frequently for important update related information.
These announcements contain a Known Issues and Solutions section and should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
Please provide system information according to forum requirements in the links listed (above). The output of the following command may be useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width
Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands when asked.
Regards.

Given that this is not only on your user account, this is indeed an issue with the update.
Updating can be an art - especially if you left it for a while.
-
Announcement threads tell you what other people have faced:
Announcements - Manjaro Linux Forum -
Snapshots would enable you to roll back.
-
Backups assist in restoring data if you reinstall.
-
Information about how frequently you update (and when you last updated) is essential. Some people leave it too long, then updates don’t go too smoothly.
