Windows 10: Open with Paint 3D

I no longer have Microsoft Paint 3-D. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and it allowed me to pin to taskbar. However, previously when I right clicked on a photo it would have a drop down box and say, “open with” and I would have the option of clicking on it. For some reason it is no longer an option. It is very not accessible from a photo.
