Outlook keeps asking me how to open jpg files
Hi! This one drives me crazy - every time I try to open a jpg file from my Outlook 2016 (installed on Windows 10 as part of my Office 365 subscription), I get a prompt, regarding how do I want to ope...
Step 1:
Open Regedit and navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\OpenWithList
You will have a (Default) key, then multiple keys a-... , and finally an MRUList key.
Step 2:
Find the key Microsoft.Windows.Photos_xxx and note the name of key.
Step 3:
Modify the MRUList value and simply enter the key name you noted in step 2. (In my example it is c but isn't always the case.)
Hello,
I am having a similar issue. I recently had to "fix" Windows 10, which involved a full reinstall. Prior to this everything was working fine.
Now any images (Jpgs, Png) I have won't open. I click on them and get the "Do you want to open with this app" message. I select one, and after a little bit it comes back up.
The odd thing is I have the Whatsapp app on the laptop and images I get through Whatsapp and save will open fine, these are Jpegs.
I have:
Tried setting defaults in the "Default for file type" setting
I have tried Windows Photo (the one is suggests) and Lenovo Photo Master.
I have tried clicking use as default in the message it
I have tried the above bit on changing the registry, using the Windows Photo and Lenovo Photo master point and nothing worked.
I saw elsewhere about updating drivers and everything, so tried all of that. If anyone has any other ideas would be great.
Thanks
Lee
