Windows 10: Why is Windows trying to open my JPGs with a program on a drive that doesn't even exist —...

Every time I try to open a JPG file, Windows is like 'let me open it with E:\program\sdraw.exe' — except I don't have an E drive and never installed this. How do I fix this cursed association permanently?

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

Thanks for your answer, ken!

I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

After posting my previous message, I did it.





After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.

 

unable to open jpg in windows 10 "we can't open this file"

Hello,

There are several ways to open an image file in Windows 10. If a photo cannot be viewed using the
Photo App, we suggest opening it using a different app. The steps below will help you
set Photo Viewer as your default image viewer:

• Press Windows Key + S and enter default programs. Select
  Default Programs from the list.
• Select Set your default programs.
• Select Windows Photo Viewer and click the Set this program as default.
• Click OK to save changes.

After setting Photo Viewer as your default image viewer, open those
.JPG files and see if the issue still occurs.

Should you have further questions, feel free to post them on this thread.
