Some jpg files not opening on Windows 11 but do on Windows 10 using Photo Viewer
I have had the strange problem of a few (maybe 10) JPG photos on my Windows 11 system not opening with Photo Viewer. It says the file is either corrupt or the file format not supported. All the photo...
Same problem here. Every application that uses the Windows Imaging Component seems to have this problem. Photoshop, etc. works fine.
In my application I get this error: The image header is unrecognized. (0x88982F61)
Since photoshop opens them and a save as makes the new copy work, it sounds like the JPEG data is mostly fine but something in the original header/encoding is upsetting windows photo viewer. Were those 10 files all from the same phone or copied from the same drive?
