    Photos App in Windows 11 modifies quality when opening photo


    Hi guys,I'm at my wits' end trying to find an answer for this problem. I'm running Windows 11 Pro, and I'm having problems with the Photos app. When I double click a photo, it opens with the Photos app, but the quality/colours/brightness/contrast of the photo looks totally wrong. The "thumbnails" AND the "preview" of the photos in File Explorer are correct, it's only when double clicking the photos that the problem happens. Today I even installed a third-party photo viewer to check if the problem was with my computer in general, but no, the other app shows the photo correctly. It's only the Ph

    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.

    Photos App in Windows 11 modifies quality when opening photo

    Open with another app 'photos'


    When you choose photos and select 'open with' it gives a selection of apps. In the list I see the apps but one that looks odd is labelled %1 and has a generic app icon. It's almost as if it's some kind of old or broken program that doesn't exist. All the other programs like paint and photos are in the list as they should be but this is a rogue one. Does anyone else see this?
