    Windows 11: How to set photo viewer default to Irfanview.


    I have tried to set my photo viewer default to Irfanview, however Win11 continually resets the default to Photos. I don't seem to be able to clean/remove/disable Photos and it is useless beside Irfanview. Any suggestions on how to clean/remove/disable Photos and make Irfanview my default photo viewer?

    :)

    Windows 10: Issues with setting photo viewer default to Irfanview.

    Original Title: Photo viewer

    I have tried to set my photo viewer default to Irfanview, however Win10 continually resets the default (usually after several minutes) to something called Photos. I don't seem to be able to clean/remove/disable Photos and it is so poorly made I am worried
    it is a virus. Any suggestions on how to clean/remove/disable Photos and make Irfanview my default photo viewer?
