Upgraded to Win11 now cant open photos!

[Mark M]

Since upgrading to Win11 I cant open any picture files (jpg png). I get an error which says The parameter is incorrect.

I havent updated any drivers etc, unless this was done by the windows upgrade.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this please?

Run MS Store and update all the apps

Tried that and it didnt work but I unistalled the photo app and reinstalled and its worked thanks

What happens when you right-click, open with and select Photos?
In Photos are you able to browse to and select\open the image?

Just images or are other filetypes affected? Could be a permission issue. Are the photos stored on a USB stick, secondary disk or network share?

Can you download an image from the internet and open?

Right click open with photo returned the same message. File location didnt affect the error, nothing would open.

I uninstalled photo viewer and reinstalled and it worked fine after that so must have been an issue with the Win11 upgrade I suspect.
