    I CAN'T SET DEFAULT APP FOR MY FILES ON WINDOWS 11


    Hello,I tried setting a default media player for my mp4 movies but realized the "CHOOSE ANOTHER APP" command isn't responding from the "OPEN WITH >" menu list. Also, I tried setting the default app from the "PROPERTIES DIALOG BOX" still got no response when clicked. All these started after I followed Microsoft's recommendation to upgrade my genuine windows from 10 to 11 online. Please how do I get this fixed? I've tried the DISM TOOLS and SCANNOW, it's till not fixed!

    :)

    How to change default app for file type

    'Open With > Choose another app' has three step, in the first it only offers apps registered for that file type. If you click 'More apps' it lists all registered apps regardless of suitability. Both these steps have the tick-box for 'Always use...' in my 18363.752. The third step, if needed, is 'Look for another app on this PC'. The 'Always use...' must be ticked before taking this step if you want the change to stick. However, WMP appears at the second step.

    For a quick look at a JPG almost anything (including WMP) is more practical than Photos which on my system takes more than ten seconds just to open a photo. The OP is probably not aware that the Windows Photo Viewer is still available in W10, but hidden away. That's my default viewer for JPG.


    Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10

    And, once enabled, is available in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    How to set default app for file type jpg

    I would like to change the default app for the file type jpg. I've gone through all the steps for setting a default app but the jpg file extension does not appear in the list and therefore I cannot choose a default.

    When I Open a jpg file it opens in the Photo app. If I look at the Photo app's settings of default file types, jpg is not there.

    Ditto for file type png.

    How can I access the default setting for these and other "hidden" types?
