Windows 10: JPG Files

On my external hard drive some of the files have changed from JPEG to JPG. I did not do this change. I currently use Windows Photos to view my pictures however it does not open up the JPG files even though according to Microsoft it should. I have tried other programs as well to see if it can open these files but they will not. I have checked the files and they do have data in them; I just cannot open. Suggestions please. Thank you!

:)

We appreciate your response, Roy. Since there was no changes has been made on the computer, we suggest that you repair the
Photo viewer and see if it'll fix the issue. Here are the steps on how:

• Click on Start menu, then type in Apps and features.
• Look for Photo on the list, then select Repair.
• Close the windows, then try to open a .jpg file again in Photo viewer.

We'll be glad to hear your feedback.

sorting jpg files

Hi

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you let us know, are you trying to sort in files in Explorer or Photos app?

If you are sorting in explorer, follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Open the folder in which files are stored.
   
2. Right click on empty space of window.
   
3. Select Sort by and click on
   Type.
   

If you are trying to sort in Photos app by extension, we would suggest you to provide your feedback in
Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app
as there is no option available to sort by extension in the app. However you can sort by Modified, Newest, Oldest, and Alphabetical.

If you want to look only for the files with .jpg extension in photos app, you may type
*.jpg in the search bar.

Hope it helps.
