Windows 10: File Explorer Pictures

I have a problem opening picture files in File Explorer. I am running the latest update to Windows 10. I cannot open a picture file from File Explorer. The pictures not just an icon in the various folders show up in the Explorer screen, but when I double click to open, I get a message "package could not be opened". Document files open ok as .doc or .pdf I can open these picture files from Picassa 3 which I have had for some time

I have worked my way through the options suggested by Microsoft as below.


Check for updates

Restart your device

Optimize Advanced system settings, including virtual memory settings

Run Disc Cleanup to free up resources on your

Run the system maintenance troubleshooter

Check if system files are missing or corrupted

Run Automatic Repair


The problem still exists and I tried to send feedback through the Feedback Hub but could not do so. Hope someone can help

Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.





This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?
