Invalid Value for Registry

I woke up this morning not being able to open my phots from the windows photo app.

I was previously able to simply click on the windows icon, click on the photos box and they came right up.

I am now unable to open them like that and all of my photos continue to say:

invalid value for registry.

How do I fix this?!

 

Hi, Not seen anything like that, sorry.

Could you try opening the gif with a different program? (e.g. rt click, Open With). What happens?

Is another image type associated with the same program? If so does that open if you double click the file?

Does the program these are associated with open if you launch it? Which one is it?

Have you made any changes related to image file associations?

 

Means that something is wrong with that file as it clearly states.

 

Hi
Have checked with other file associations opens with Adobe, microsoft office, paint but will not open with photos, not double clicking either.

I understand the file does not open with the universal Photos app, but does with several desktop programs.

Does Photos open if you launch it from the start menu, and can you view any image files with it?
I.e. is Photos working?

 

You could try this.

or this, try option 2.

Thanks, that could be the next step after we've checked Photos is indeed not working.

 

Hi

Tried rebooting and this seemed to work but still feel something not quite right, so will monitor the situation and get back if sorted or not.

Thanks for all the relevant help so far its always much appreciated.
