Windows 10: "Open with" option missing when I select more than one file

I want to select multiple photos and open all of them in their own instances of MS paint. In windows 10 I used to be able to select multiple photos -> right click -> open with -> paint. Now, in windows 11, when I have multiple photos selected and right click, the 'open with' option is completely gone
