Windows 10: Program windows 10 disaster in photos

I don't even know why I'm wasting my time writing to you people. I swear every person I have spoken with has an IQ of 1. NOTHING GETS RESOLVED--NOTHING!My photos have turned into icons over the last 5 days. I shut my computer off. When I turn it back on, my photos are icons AGAIN! I HAVE TO CHANGE EACH PHOTO AND THERE ARE 16,000 BACK TO PICTURES MANUALLY! I ever put my pictures on a 2 TB USB. When I put the pictures on the USB drive, they are pictures. When I check the USB drive, they are not pictures anymore. It is a detailed list of the pictures in each folder. There is something very

Windows 10 - defaul photo program

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

As I understand that you are not able to see Photo Explosion in the list of default programs, I would suggest you to follow few steps to set Photo Explosion as your default program.

• 
  In the search bar type Default programs and press enter
  
• 
  Click on associate a file type or protocol with a program
  
• 
  Select the file type which you want to associate with the photo Explosion.
  
• 
  After selecting click on change programs
  
• 
  Check whether you are able to see Photo Explosion in the list.
  

Hope this information is useful. Do get back to us for further assistance.

 

Windows 7 Will Not Include Email, Photo and Movie Programs

I think people missed that MS did not say "Internet" in the program list. Just Email, Photo, Movie.

 

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.
