microsoft photos nt getting opened

Hi,

In most cases, this problem might be caused by corrupted system files or incompatibility with third-party applications installed on your computer. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we'll be needing additional information:

• Are you experiencing this problem when opening a picture on Photo app? If yes, are you experiencing the same problem when opening a picture using a different application?
• Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?

Meanwhile, if you are only experiencing this issue on Photo app, we suggest that you
run the troubleshooter for Windows apps.

We'll be waiting to your reply.

 

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
