    Cannot change video default app


    Installed software has change my default app for playing video. I have tried every possible way through the UI to make the change, but each time I select another app, there's a pause and then the screen goes black.


    Can an app lock this setting? If so, short of removing the app, how do I get around this problem?

    :)

    Changing default app won't stick

    Hi all
    I am trying to give Windows Photo Viewer all its (file extension) defaults

    I have tried two ways to set Windows Photo Viewer as default:

    Control Panel / Default Programs / Set your default programs / Windows Photo Viewer
    Whatever I do, windows does not let me assign more that two defaults to Windows Photo Viewer. e.g. jpg cannot be assigned.

    Setting / System / Default apps
    When I click Photo Viewer chose a default, a list pops up, but it does not contain Windows Photo Viewer.

    Also I tried to set jRiver as the default for Video Player. It does appear in the list and I can select it in the list, but it will not appear as the default Video Player.

    If I chose Photos as the Photo Viewer app, it appears as the default for both Photo Viewer and Video Player.

    Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here?
