Windows 10: Windows Photos - default print settings

When printing from Photos, I'll set the printer to use a certain tray with certain paper and size. The next photo I print, even from the same session, resets those selections. For every photo, I have to change them back. There must be a default in Photos, right? It appears to blindly go back to the printer's own "Printing Preferences..." every time. Sure, I can go there and change the preferences, then remember to change them back for the next document I print on plain letter. That's a fuss.

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.
