Windows 10 Domain not opening images

[talksr]

Hi there,

I am finding that users on our network are unable to open images. If they open an a jpg/jpeg, they are presented with the following error:

 

"You'll need a new app to open this ms-paint".

Ideally, I would like images to open in Photos, or even Microsoft Office 2010 Picture manager.

 

How can this be achieved via Group Policy?

Hi

 

Photo viewer is disabled in Win10, the awful app is the default instead. To use the viewer, follow this guide

It is a real pain. I used DSIM to create a Default Associations XML (once I had configured defaults). I set up an enforced Group Policy object just for this, but still it refuses to work both with images or PDFs.

The guide you linked to is helpful, but I really need to do this over Group Policy as we have Windows 10 stations everywhere and it could take some time to implement if not through Group Policy.

 

Happy Easter.
