Windows 10: default app for jpegs keeps changing

I prefer Windows Photo Viewer to view jpeg images. For some reason, on occasion, this app will not open, and worst, it is not listed in when I use "open with." Opening an image from it's folder brings up another app I use, FastStone. I went to settings and changed the default app, but it will not take effect. What's up? Thanks.

The default program set for opening jpeg files is TWINUI

Hi,

Default settings may be changed to resolve this issue. To change the default app when opening JPEG files, follow the steps below:

• Open Settings.
• Click System.
• Click Default apps in the left pane.
  
• Click Choose default apps by file type link.
  
• Locate JPEG File, click the Default app and select
  Photos.
  

Let us know if it works.
