Windows 10: How do I get the Photos app to stop overriding Photos Legacy?

I'm using Win10. A few days ago I opened my Photos app now called Photos Legacy, to find that the new app had taken over what I had, with not warning. I dislike the new app intensely -- way too complicated for editing photos from a phone. I can't even sharpen an image. So I downloaded Photos Legacy, but when I opened it to edit a photo, the new app had taken over again. I then did the appxbundle thing that removed both photo apps, reloaded only Photos Legacy, to find that the new app still takes over in editing. I want my old app back!

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.
