I've been having this issue since shortly before installing the latest Windows Update last week. Any time I click on a photo within Windows Explorer, a message pops up that simply lists the file path and says "Not Implemented".
This started happening before I installed the update, and it was only upon restarting my computer to solve the issue that the update was installed (I tend to procrastinate updates).
The issue appears to be caused by Explorer. Downloading any random image with my Chrome browser and opening the image from the downloads list successfully opens the image, as does viewing images from within the Photos app itself.
Restarting Explorer from task manager fixes the issue temporarily, but it has always reoccurred after some time. So that's not a permanent fix and having to restart Explorer at least once a day is not ideal. I'm more just worried that this could be the precursor to or symptom of something much more serious. I've never had this problem before, and most issues like this are resolved with a full restart.
I don't know what to do.

I suffered from Microsoft's "not implemented" disaster also.
I've been using Photos Legacy for almost a week, and have had no further problems.
This does appear to be a permanent work-around for viewing your images.
I'll be using Photos Legacy until Microsoft fixes their Photos update.
I did this (set as default) and it fixed it temporarily (with a reboot), but now, a day later, Photos is still set as the default but I have the same problem again....UGH
Did you reboot after resetting default to the Photos app? I had to do that extra step then it worked for me
I am having the same issue and not fixed after scan
Came here to say I'm having the same issue too. I did all the scans and it didn't fix the problem. I will wait for an update that fixes it I guess.
