Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion: no unfortunately it doesn't. When I follow the path from settings to apps/defaults, clicking on the .jpg I get 8 choices:

Chose an application for viewing a .jpg file

Photos (recommended for Windows)
Adobe Lightroom
Paint
Paint 3D
Snip and sketch
SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder
WhatsApp
Just look for an app in the Microsoft store

If I click on "Look in the Microsoft store", this returns the message:

No results found

There is no result for this extension
