    Greenshot not appearing in Default Apps Settings, Photos section.


    Hello,

    I recently downloaded Greenshot for taking screenshots, and I wanted to change that to the default image viewer, instead of the default Photo Viewer, but it does not show up at all. I tried looking for 'Greenshot' in Microsoft Store, but it's not there. So, is there any way to change it to the default photo viewer? P.S. I tried uninstalling, and then reinstalling the program, and it's still not showing up. I also tried changing it to Greenshot with the 'Choose default apps by file type' option, but Greenshot still does not want to show up in the list. I don't know what to do anymore. Although, if I open up a .jpg/.png etc. file from the 'Open With...' option, then it shows up, but I have to search for the application on my PC, so I don't think it's still the 'main' app for viewing/opening photos.

    Can someone please help me out?

    :)

    Unable to set Photoscape as Default Photo Viewer


    Photoscape is an app that is functioning normally.
    I want to make it my Default Photo Viewer.
    When I go to Settings/Default Apps it is not on the list
    On one attempt to set, it stated that Photoscape was "unavailable" (not sure where that occurred)
    I have tried a number of paths for default apps in Tutorial section without success
    Suggestions for how to get around this barrier?
    Thank You

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done *Smile I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
