AVD WIN10 local profiles affected by WinRT Storage API

We have an issue with WinRT Storage API taking over default Apps for things like Maps and Photos. It's not clear if this is as a result of a feature update or patch, or indeed if it is a bug. If is affecting some applications when certain files are opened like JPEGs.

 

Have seen links with workaround fixes but I'd like to know:

 

1) What this actually is that's arrived?

2) Why it has taken over default MS Apps, e.g Photo viewer

3) How it happens and resets settings in applications or profiles

 

Thanks

    Hello,
    We have the same problem. The problem only occurs with 1 profile.
    I checked the profile and saw that this profile used onedrive for the desktop, documents and pictures folders. Images stored in these folders caused the problem with the Microsoft Photos app. As a test, I now let the user save the images to a local folder. So far this appears to work. I'm still figuring out what the problem could be between Photos and Onedrive.
