SOLVED Photographs will not open

[Snoopysac]

Since the most recent update in Windows 10, I have been unable to open any photographs. I get the message (depending on which photograph, of course) C\Users\Cheryl\Desktop\DSCN9356.JPG Class not registered. HELP! I have tried all I know and nothing works.

Can you open MS Paint?
Start Button -> All Apps -> Windows Accessories -> Paint
Then use the "File" from the menu bar to "Open" and then browse to your images folder and see if you can open a .jpg file that way?

Thanks a lot; that works! Confused as to why this is now necessary, though. In the past, I just double clicked the photograph and it opened. Oh well, at least I can now see my pix. Really appreciate the fast response.

It shouldn't be necessary.
I suspect that there may be something wrong with the new MS Universal App "Photos" and as a consequence you are getting that error.
Since I rarely use any of the Universal Apps, I can't suggest anything definitive except to check the "Store" App and make sure that all your apps are up to date.
You can always choose another default image viewer
This may help to some extent http://www.howtogeek.com/225844/how...ewer-your-default-image-viewer-on-windows-10/
There are a host of third party products out there if you have a personal preference.

Thank you for the follow up on my original question. As per your instruction, I accessed the how to geek site, which walked me through the issue. I can now open pix without two or three steps. Thanks again.
