Image Files Won’t Open from Out-Tray

(.JPG, .JPEG, .PNG)

Written by Antoine Larsen

If image files won’t open or fail to launch from the out-tray, the default viewer may not be configured correctly.

How to fix:

  1. Go to Settings → Apps → Default apps

  2. Select Paint (or your current image app)

  3. Scroll down to locate the following file types:

  • .jpg

  • .jpeg

  • .png

Change each of these to Windows Photo Viewer (This will restore proper functionality when opening image files.)
