Windows 10: Files downloading without an extension

Hello I see in the forums that this query has been answered but the solution was not revealed. When I download files from the internet such as .png and .Jpeg they show up as "file" and I can't find the default app "Photos" to open them. My default app for png and jpeg is photos but because it's an "all file", Photos doesn't appear when I "open with". How can I set my computer to how open these "files" that are clearly jpeg and png files?

Hi Randy,

To change the file extension when saving a document in Word 2013, you may follow the steps below:

• Click on File; then, select Options from the list.
• In the Word Options window, choose Save.
• Under Save files in this format, select *.doc from the list.
• Hit OK button to confirm and save the changes.

If ever your Word 2013 application is not recognizing the changes you have made, you may restart the application; however, if the issue still persists, we suggest that you repair it. To do this, see this
