All of a sudden, all my photos - that look normal in their folders - turn milky white when I open them on screen.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

windows 10 photos app wont open

I appear to have a slight variant of this problem. I have 2 accounts on my PC. Currently Photos works fine in one but in the other when I try to open .jpg files it displays the error message “Invalid value for registry”. Photos worked fine in both
accounts when I first upgraded to Windows 10. Photos are displayed in the Photos tile on the Start page. Photos is shown as the default photo viewer but the icon is pale blue whereas all the others are dark blue. Photos will not open from the apps list. Also
in the list of installed apps the “uninstall” button for Photos is not highlighted. If I right click on the jpg file and look at the “open with” listing, Photos is listed but the icon is completely white. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Photos. I have run the Windows Store App troubleshooter with no fault detection. While I can open the jpg files with a number of other programs using the “open with” function I cannot change the default photo viewer app from the Photos app.

 

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.
