    Cannot open or reinstall apps like Photos or Store on Windows 11, considering repair...


    I have attempted reinstallation of these apps on powershell as admin and got no results. Only thing i haven't tried that I have come across is a repair install. I am questioning if I should do this and if it would mess anything up. Additionally, I am wondering if I should select "Keep files and apps" or just "keep files" for my specific purpose. Does anyone have any answers for me?

    :)

    Cannot reinstall Microsoft Photos App from Store

    Microsoft Photos will not install.

    Photos would not call Maps from a photo file information. I reset Photos using Advanced Settings. The Photos App now shows on the Programmes and Apps list Start menu, but is not in the Apps list in the Settings list Apps&Features so it will not run.

    When I try to reinstall the Photos app from the Store I get the error message 0x80073D05.

    I have tried all the usual repairs in Windows help to no avail.

    Any suggestions please?

    Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
