Can't Change Default Apps Windows 11 (OS Build 22000.120)

Anonymous

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.

In fact, I did not make a mistake reassigning defaults to Irfanview. And, I solved the problem on my own without being Taky.

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.
