Windows 10: How can invokes Windows Photo?

How can I create software that invokes Windows Photo to display an image? I have an application that invokes Office 2010 Picture Manager to display images. I want to upgrade to use Windows Photos under Windows 11. The Photos application is in a directory Program Files\WindowsApps that is read protected. The functions that will start a process must be able to read the executable.

Have Invoke play music that is currently playing on my PC

Hi JessebOne,

Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Community Forums.

Try to uninstalling and reinstalling the Cortana Device Setup app and check if you're able to complete the setup. Invoke Works with select music services, paid subscriptions may be required. I suggest you to try reset Invoke, follow
the below steps, and check if that helps.

1. Attach Power Cable
   
2. Press and Hold the Mic Mute Button until Cortana Says, “Ready for setup.”
   

Note: the Invoke will not function until properly set up and linked to a Microsoft account.

I suggest you to follow this article on
Set up my Harman Kardon Invoke with Cortana, and I also suggest you to refer this article on

Fix problems with the Start menu or Cortana.

I also suggest you to refer this article on
Introducing Harman Kardon INVOKE
with Cortana by Microsoft, where you can see the partners who support controlling invoke.

We await your response.

Regards,

 

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 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.
