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.

Actually no. It does not find .jpg
A new update to Windows seems to have solved the problem, because now I can. Update the default app. It does show .JPG, And you can now. In my case, ifranview.exe As the default app.
.jpg was completely missing as a file type. Running that script brought it back. Thank you.
Thank you for not just assuming this user broke his PC. I just unboxed a brand new laptop and all images were locked to MS Photos. Your command line unlocked them and I'm able to associate them with the app of MY choice now, instead of the app of Microsoft's choice. Thank you for posting this comment.
