Windows 10: Widows 11 setting default program for jpg files is not working

Just installed W11, clean install. I installed Irfanview for my image viewer and simple editing. However it will not associate jpg and png file types, although it did for many other file types. I tried installing as an Administrator. I tried setting associations from within Irfanview. I tried going to the Default Programs control panel and tried to associate jpg files with Irfanview. JPG is not listed in the file types. Nore is png. Both have been taken by Photo Viewer and nothing seems to make it give it up.

Restore IE 11 to default programs list in Windows 10 AND set IE as default for links opened in email

Running Windows 10 and Internet Explorer 11. Cannot run Microsoft Edge because it does not work with some websites that I use (for example, treasury.gov). Have been using IE 11 as default program for web access in all applications, including Outlook
for email. Windows 10 updated a few days ago. IE 11 still shows up as default browser in default programs window. However, it does NOT appear in the list of default programs available to be associated with file types, etc. Also, clicking on a link in an
email message now defaults to Edge, but does not show IE as an option. 2 questions: 1. How do I restore IE 11 to the list of default programs? 2. How do I restore IE 11 as the default browser in email links?

 

Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

Hi Fred,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

4. Select .flv file from the list.

Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
and search for .flv extension from the list.

4. Click on .flv and then click on Change Program.
