Windows 10: Why Does JPG Photo Image Not Show in Windows Photos

I have Windows 10, Office 365 on my desktop PC. When I try to import photos from my iPhone, the jpg preview image no longer appears in Windows Photo - only a blue background jpg image appears - not the actual photo image. Why is this? I have my iPhone settings set to save the photos as "most compatible". The iPhone is a 13 Pro Max and I have the latest iOS version. This problem seems to have started only within the past six months.

How to bring back Photo Viewer in Windows 10?

Unfortunately, none of the above answers worked for me, but they pointed me in the right direction.

1. Right-click on an image in Windows Explorer, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
   
2. In the dialog, scroll down and click on More apps, then `Look for another app on this PC.
   
3. Then, at the bottom right, choose All Files (*.*) instead of Programs (*.exe ...), then navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer and choose PhotoViewer.dll.
   
4. Photo Viewer opens. Close it.
   
5. Repeat Step 1: Right-click again on the image, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
   
6. Again scroll down to click on More apps.
   
7. Now Windows Photo Viewer appears in the apps list. Choose it and click on Always use this app to open .png files.
   

Once you did steps 1-4, you don't have to repeat them for other file types. Steps 5-7 should suffice.
