Windows 10: "Invalid value for registry" when opening .jpg on windows 10

help I had a virus and was forced to do a system restore to 5/august/2015 and when I tried to open .jpg file and "Invalid value for registry" happened I tried some fixes in PowerShell and Photos app and Store app weren't invisible anymore but had this exclamination mark

opening photo's .jpg files

I downloaded Windows 10 last month , but I have a problem opening my .jpg file . When I try to double click the picture files the message "Invalid value for registry" pop's up. Any help please ?

 

Can't open pictures

When I try to open or view a picture I get the message "invalid value for registry". I am using Windows 10 Home.

 

Change the default application for the file types away from the broken app, remove the app, restart the PC, install the app again and again make it the default.

Anyway, what you should do is a clean and new installation of Windows. What you have now already sounds pretty broken and you don't know, which other symptoms of brokenness you are still to find.

 

I'm having the same problem. Is there anyway to fix without re installing windows??

 

As I said: Change the default application for the file types away from the broken app, remove the app, restart the PC, install the app again and again make it the default. However, I just have to repeat that: Keeping a system, of which you know that it has been infected and of which you cannot tell, if it is really clean, is not recommended. Doing a reinstall is the only right solution.

 

I tried your instructions. It still did not work. Finally, I got my friend who is a DBA of a big company in my area to help fix this problem. He used WiseCleaner (FREE software) to fix my registry. My PC is working GREAT now. I am very happy! *Smile
