    Hi, all files created with Paint and all photos in my folders can't be opened anymore?


    For about three weeks now, I haven't been able to open files that I created or edited with Paint.

    And also all the photos I have saved as a backup on my laptop can no longer be opened.

    I have Windows 10 and a laptop from HP.

    At the bottom of the photos you can see the problem better.

    I tried everything that was recommended in forums and on Chip, but nothing helped.

    Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

    Why all my newly created files and folders Encrypted in Desktop?

    Every time I create a new folder or file and save it to my Desktop, a gold padlock icon appears on it. I tried the following steps but no use:

    1. Go to C:\Users\User_Name and select Desktop folder, right click on it, select properties, then go to Advanced, unchecked the option "Encrypt the option to secure data". Then it shows one error as

    "An error occurred trying to apply attributes to the file:

    C:\Users\User_name\Desktop

    The specific file could not be decrypted" .

    2. Open an administrator command line and run "cipher /u /n" to list all the EFS files.

    Then run "cipher /d "path to the file"" to decrypt all the EFS files.

    Any other suggestions ?

    Regards

    Windows 10 Photos App Not Displaying all Photos and Folders

    I've been trying to research this issue and have tried a number of fixes. Here is the situation:

    • I am using a network drive for my photos
    • "Collection" will not show all of my photos - many are missing.
    • If I go to "Folders" view:
      • Some will show only a subset of the photos.
      • Others will not show any photos at all.
      • Several folders don't show up at all (yet if I search for them in the search bar, they do)
    • If in Windows Explorer I click on any of the missing photos or folders, they all open with no issues with the photos App

    I have tried a number of fixes:

    • I have used the windows app troubleshooter
    • I reset the photos app
    • I have added and removed the folders in the photos app settings
    • I uninstalled and re-installed the photos app
    • I "refreshed" folders within the app
    • I changed permissions for the photos folder
      • Added SYSTEM to all sub-folders and files
    In all I have spent hours trying to get this to work - and its not. I really want to use the photos app to manage my extensive library of family photos. Any other suggestions to get this to work? Is this a known issue with Windows 10 Photos App?

    Thank You!
