Hi Nate,

Your Windows Photo app might be corrupted that's why it's not working as intended. Since you already tried to reset the app to no effect, reinstalling the app might do the trick. Kindly follow the steps below on how to reinstall the Windows Photo app:

A. First you need to uninstall the Photo app using PowerShell:

1. On your keyboard, press Windows + X.
2. Select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
3. Copy and paste this command: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
4. Press Enter.
5. Restart your device for it to take effect.

B. Install the Microsoft Photo app.

1. Launch the Windows Store.
2. On the search bar, type Microsoft Photo.
3. Press Enter.
4. Download and install the app.

Afterwards, try to recreate your 3D Effect. If the issue persist. Please provide us your Windows build and version for us to provide more possible solutions:

1. On your keyboard, press Windows + R.

3. Then, provide us the build and version of your Windows.

Issue with OpenWith.exe freezed after you cancel file requester

I have a strange issue with OpenWith.exe, when you have to select the assigned program to a file type.
The problem is that when I CANCEL the action the task OpenWith.exe hangs forever blocking also Properties panel. If I choose a new app or click out of the list it closes correctly and nothing strange happens. To better describe and understand the issue I've made a short video:


The real thing that puzzles me is that it happens even in Safe Mode! No Shell Extensions or strange drivers loaded etc.
Maybe it's a Windows 10 19042.906 bug triggered only on some HW/OS configurations?

Any good idea to professionally track down the issue are welcome.
Here are a some dumps I've done of the explorer + openwith tasks when it happens: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

EDIT
To easily (?) reproduce the above bug in the video do a few further steps:
- enable 'Show libraries', see Show libraries in File Explorer (microsoft.com)
- .... (follow steps in the video)
- once you are at the file requester to pick the default viewer, EXPAND the libraries tree and click on (enter in) last library listed (usually 'Videos')
- wait a few secs for it to refresh
- now Cancel the file requester
