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.

 

Removing duplicate app entries from the default files list

Hi Roger,

There's a possibility that Firefox isn't uninstalled completely on your computer. We suggest that you uninstall it in the
Settings app by following these steps:

• On Start, select that cog icon or Settings.
• Go to Apps and select the program that you want to uninstall.
• Select Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.

This will completely remove Firefox from your system and from the Default Apps list. You can also check and save this article that in case you need a guide to

repair or remove programs in Windows 10.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further.

How to remove an uninstalled app from the default apps list?

I uninstalled Calibre (an e-book reader). After uninstalling, I noticed that when I right click a .epub file, Calibre still appears as an option. Clicking on it does nothing because it is uninstalled.

I suspected that I may still get shown the option to open files with Calibre because it may still be the default app for some formats that my new e-book reader (Adobe Digitial Editions) does not support. I checked the Default Apps list (Settings > Apps > Default Apps), and Calibre is still there. I changed the default app for all the formats that were set to open with Calibre and restarted my PC, but it still shows in the default apps list and in the 'open with' drop-down menu. The location shown in the drop-down menu suggestion does not exist. I assume it got deleted in the uninstallation process.
How can I remove Calibre from the places mentioned?
