The new Default App Setting is way to advance and confusing which is unecessary complex for home users. I wanted to change the default file type for Photos and Videos but I there is no jpg, png, mp4 types of file type showing when searching to change it's default app. Also I can't change the default app using explorer open with because the checkbox for always use this app is missing for both Photos and Videos. Also there is no Open with the file property too. Help Me Anyone.

I am sorry, but... Please be so kind to read back.
Your solution is already written here in this topic.
There are multiple pages, you know.
Not hundreds, but like... 4.
You installed something and allowed it to set itself to be the default.
That was a mistake. Win11 registry is different.
Just do the 3 lines fix written here(admin powershell), and all will be well.
P.S.
Note here that .jpg does not appear:
My build is Windows 11 Home 22000.556. My default apps screen doesn't work like yours. As I type in .jp .... a drop down menu does not pop up as in your screenshot. See my screenshots:
Very strange,.... lots of differences. Thoughts?
I also have this problem on a new Dell laptop running Windows 11. JPG does not even appear in the extension choices! Like it doesn't exist yet Windows uses a default program to open it. How can I change the default for jpg when it doesn't appear in default apps??
What build of Windows 11 are you on, because it's there
on build 22572?
