Cannot set Photshop as default app for opening jpg

Explorer ,
Jun 07, 2025 Jun 07, 2025

I have tried to set Photoshopas my default app for opening  .jpg files. When I navigate to Photshop .exe file and open it it does not work, I can only open .jpgs by navigating to their locacation within Photshop file selector.  I'm running Windows 11 and I've noticed that Photoshop is not listed in default apps. I have no issues with psd. files , the Photoshop icon is visible next to the file, implying it's a Photoshop file. 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and I'm still getting the same problem.
