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.

 

lost photos Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• • • • 
        What is the make and model of the computer?
        
      • 
        Did you lose all the photos after the update?
        
      • 
        Which was the previous operating system installed on the computer?
        
      • 
        What are the troubleshooting steps that you performed?
        

If the images are missing after the upgrade, I would like to inform you that the images that are missing will be located in the Windows. Old folder. I suggest you to check Windows .Old folder for the missing images.

Windows. Old folder will be located in This PC > access the drive where Operating System has been installed, there you would be able to locate Windows. Old folder.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
