Windows 10: .Chm-file does not show images when opened with right mouse click->Open with...->Microsoft...

I have a weird problem.


When opening .chm-files by double click or right mouse click->Open or form the command prompt by the command hh.exe ".chm-file" everything works fine.


But when opening the same .chm-file by right mouse click->Open with...->Microsoft HTML Help Executable or from within the application by pressing F1 images in the .chm-file won't show up.


Anyone any thoughts?


TIA

Does Microsoft Help HTML Executable appear in the list?

If not, scroll down and click 'More Apps'

Again check for Microsoft Help HTML Executable, if that s not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC'

Navigate to find: C:\Windows\hh.exe

If that file does not exist, click the link below to download HTML Help Workshop and Documentation, which will contain hh.exe

CHM not opening from network folder

Hello,

I can't find anything answer to my problem:

One user complained that he could not open CHM file.

Error:





He mentioned, after vacation everything worked.

What I found:

.chm not opening from network folder, after copy this file on desktop, problem solved. But the person is working with much .chm document, and copy all uncomfortable.

What I tried:

• Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions MaxAllowedZone to 1;2;3;4
• Create UrlAllowList in regedit.
• Uninstall last installed windows updates.
• Open from another (administrator) user on this pc.
• Change location of .chm file f:\ g:\ and other mapped disk, or open path with ip: \\192.168.1.1\folder\file.chm
• No "#" or "%" symbol in file name or path.
• No choose "unblock" in properties.
• Other computers with same windows from image, can open this file from network folder.
  

Maybe you have more ideas? Thanks.
