Hi all
I am trying to give Windows Photo Viewer all its (file extension) defaults
I have tried two ways to set Windows Photo Viewer as default:
Control Panel / Default Programs / Set your default programs / Windows Photo Viewer
Whatever I do, windows does not let me assign more that two defaults to Windows Photo Viewer. e.g. jpg cannot be assigned.
Setting / System / Default apps
When I click Photo Viewer chose a default, a list pops up, but it does not contain Windows Photo Viewer.
Also I tried to set jRiver as the default for Video Player. It does appear in the list and I can select it in the list, but it will not appear as the default Video Player.
If I chose Photos as the Photo Viewer app, it appears as the default for both Photo Viewer and Video Player.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here?

Solved:
I had to unregister Windows Photo Viewer and then restore it as outlined here:
Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10
Then I gave jRiver all its defaults (this includes the ones for photo files) and finally I gave Windows Photo Viewer all its defaults.
This time the defaults were accepted and they stick, so all is well.
