Unable to Select PSE15 as Default Program for File Types

Question

This is probably more of a Win 10 issue but it concerns PSE 15 so here goes.

I am on Win 10 Home 64 bit

I had PSE 11 installed

I installed PSE 15

I set PSE 15 and the default app to open all the images types.

After using the new version for a while and deciding I was satisfied with it I uninstalled PSE 11

The association of file types to PSE 15 disappeared immediately and PSE 15 is not available as a program to select, nor is there a 'select another program' option

Also, if i right click an image in File Explorer and select Open With, PSE 15 is not listed

I am beginning to think I might need to reinstall PSE 15. That's not a big issue because I don't use Organiser but before I do so, is there a quick fix for my issue please?

Many thanks

- Paul

It should be possible to right-click on a photo in explorer and choose:

Open with >> Choose another app

In the dialog that opens click towards the right to highlight the scroll bar and scroll down to the bottom and choose: More Apps

Photoshop Elements 15 Editor should be available for you to select - see image below.

Well that was interesting.More apps didn't list PSE 15 either but it did give a further option for 'More apps on this PC' through which I was able to navigate down through my C:\ drive to find the PSE 15 executable file.And once i had associated the TIFF file type with PSE 15, all the other image types immediately defaulted to it as well.Thanks for your help
