Windows 10: Invalid valid for registry & No more Photos app

Since the last update I have not been able to open any pictures on my laptop. Every time I try to open a picture I get the "Invalid value for registry" error message.


I also noticed that I no longer have the Microsoft Photos app on my machine. The Microsoft Store says I already "own" this app, but, I can't find it on my machine. I have downloaded the My Photos App, but, when I look at my Default settings for my photo viewer it has TWINUI listed and when try to change it to My Photos it doesn't change.


Any help will be appreciated.


Thank you!

:)

Photos: "Invalid Value for Registry"


Hi, understand.. can't directly point you to a specific registry entry, but this may be of interest for comparison- I used Nirsoft's FileTypesman. (The Userchoice field = AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc)

I'll assume you've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, reregistering the app.



Can confirm jpg's open with Photo app.

Are you able to associate (e.g.) jpg's with any other program?
Of course, it may not be an association related registry entry...

 

Microsoft photos app not working - Invalid value of Registry

Thanks but it's not a proper solution, it's temporary workaround. I have to move all data + emails configurations + different settings hence it's a one of a tough job. For just one app ( photo app) I don't think so I have to go through such workaround.

On a separate note, I don't think so main account is corrupt, cause if so any other app/service has to be damaged or not working condition but it's not the case. So it's a issue with photo app only. Hence Microsoft has to find out proper solution for this
problem. I guess I am not the only one who is suffering from this issue; there are number of people who is having same issue & waiting for a proper & simple solution.

Hence please suggest other solution.

Update:- I tried deleting registry key as suggested by kai on below mentioned thread, after playing with permission issue, I removed keys & re-install photo app & yup...it worked.
