Windows 10: Cannot open Jpegs

Hi, I am unable to open jpegs in Windows. I click on a file and I get a pop up stating 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.' I have watched countless videos on YouTube claiming a miracle fix but none work. Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Cant open JPEG

Hello John,

One possible reason why certain JPEG's wouldn't open may be due to file corruptions. To better assist you, kindly answer the questions below:

• Were there any recent hardware/software changes done on your computer prior to this happening?
• Does this error appear when opening other JPEG files or is the issue specific to a single JPEG file?
• Does this error appear when you try to open other file types?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We're looking forward for your response.
