That worked, its now appearing in the "open with" menu However the issue for associations remains..
You could've just looked above, it's just my former message.. As it says, I only have TIFFs formats in the "picture viewer" association window.
Do it the old fashioned way...............
Right click at Start > select Control Panel > top right at View by, click the pointer and select small icons > select Default Programs > select Associate a file type....... > left side, scroll down to .jpg > click it > under Current Default, does it say Windows Photo Viewer ?
If yes, your are set.
If no, top right, click Change Program > does the popup box show Windows Photo Viewer on the list ?
If yes, click it and click OK.
If no, at the bottom, click More apps > use the scrollbar to find Windows Photo Viewer and select it > click OK when done.
Repeat the steps above with .png files.
I'm having a problem with Windows Photo Viewer since the November update.
Every time I open a pic in "Pictures" on C:\ (an SSD), my mechanical storage drives start up and the pic won't open until said drives are spinning.
Since I use the Photo Viewer a lot I had to go back to the old one which is inconvenient given that Logitech drivers are bugged with scrolling.
Windows 10 starts up those drives at every opportunity, any excuse and they start up but they're never actually being accessed, they just spin up for no reason.
Hello elbeasto, :)
This would be from having Turn off hard disk after turned on in your power plan settings. You can set this to "Never" or a longer time so that you don't have to wait as often.

Hi Brink. :)
Ta for the reply but...
What I'm getting at is that they don't need to start up at all if the image being opened is on C drive.
Why spin up D and E drives if the image resides on C, a nice quiet SSD?
This is a huge problem with Windows 10.
e.g: I just now opened Settings>Network & Internet> All my drives spin up... for why win10? why are you so bad?
Sorry I meant go back to the Windows 10 Photos App, sorry for the confusion there.

Elbeasto,
I never understood why it has to spin all drives up either instead of just the one you're trying to open, but if you set Turn off hard disk after to never, it'll stop it.
