Windows 10: Unable to Open Image Files

I have some .jpg files, from 2007, that I was able to open without problems. I last opened them in 2017 but have just tried to open them (yesterday), with both Paint and Paintshop Pro (I even tried Irfanview), and I get the message that the file is unsupported. Anyone any idea what could have changed recently to cause this?

Windows 1809 (OS Build 17763, 1217)
