Windows 10: Photos Question

Organizing my photos on my laptop, from my devices, now my laptops running super slow. Eventually I realize that I’m getting copies in my Photos app, AND in the files where I’m organizing them

Since I don’t use the Photos app I figured I’d delete the pictures there........ I don’t need them in two places.
After I deleted one or two just to test I realized that deleting them in photos also deleted them in my files! WTH can I do?

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.
