Have a look at this method posted in another forum.
Unable to replace Photos app with Photo Viewer as default (10240).
It will work on Windows 10.

This works like charm nexus.

Here is a zip file of .reg key for those that don't know how to make the registry key, Simply save the file to your desktop then extract the zip file & follow the prompts to add it to the registry.

photoviewer.zip (Credit nexus)

I don't have a problem opening file in Photo viewer. It just won't print from there

You should try opening the file with another software. Like this for example: http://www.paintshoppro.com/en/pages/jpeg-file/ and after installation right click, open with, and do that. It should work

The thread is marked as solved ( and quite old)

Thanks, it's all the jpg and may be other formats. Is works once registered on the desk by using windows media or picasa. But i would like it to be like before, by just clicking on the file it would open.
