Windows 10: Windows Photo opens when I don't want it to

Hello,I've been cleaning out photo files, deleting duplicates, etc. I have two folders open, side by side, to compare photos. If I find duplicates, I click on them one at a time using Ctl+click to highlight them. Sometimes just clicking ONCE on the first photo causes Windows Photo to open up, doesn't do it every time, just once in a while. Sometimes I'll click the first picture while holding down the Ctl key, then click on the next picture and Photo opens. Again, doesn't do it every time but enough that it's freaking annoying. How do I stop this from happening? No way possible to send s

:)

 

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
