Windows 10: How to make Paint 3D the default app for .pngs ?

Hello,For the last couple of hours, I've been trying to figure out a solution to make Paint3D the default app for opening images on my PC. The thing is, I can't seem to make it because of the way Paint3D is stored very hard access to WindowsApps, no apparent .exe.I tried pretty much everything I could, reinstalling it from microsoft store so it appears in the "choose another app" when i click on "open with", uninstalling some other apps to make it appear, but this didn't work.So, I tried to take it directly from WindowsApps folder, but when I try to run the file that's in there PaintStudi

Where is the Paint 3D Executable?

Hi Don

Paint 3D is a modern app, which doesn't use executables like older classic applications.

If you want to associate file formats with Paint 3D as the default, you have to do the following.

Point a JPEG file

Right click it

Click Properties

Click the General tab

Click Change

Choose Paint 3D in the list

Click OK

Click Apply then OK

Repeat the same step for a BMP file.

or

Click Start > Settings > Apps > Default apps

Scroll to the bottom

Click Choose default apps by file type

Scroll down to JPEG and Bitmap

Click on the current associated application then choose Paint 3D from the list.
