How to repair Windows Enterprise after September update pictures are all opened by the drawing board _win server

After the baptism of this month's update day, the Enterprise version of Windows 10 suddenly found that it was not able to properly view the picture .

Because before the update, all kinds of pictures are opened using the "Photo program" (This is Photos app), and then updated, the app will not use, in fact, the Enterprise version of Windows 10 itself "no" store, including the edge of the Advanced browser, So this app is naturally gone. It is estimated that after the update, the Enterprise version of Windows 10 has completely broken the idea of using the store, the original "residue" that Photos app also killed together.

The manifestation of the "symptom" is that all the pictures are open by the paint program, after the "default program" view, found that the corresponding open program, became an unknown application.

Figure 1 The default program is to see that the file formats that are open in the paint program now become unknown applications.

Because there is the photo app Open the picture is quite convenient, now do this, get the Windows Photo Viewer (Windows Photo Viewer) can not be taken over by default, from the above figure you see the default only TIF and TIFF two files by Windows The photo Viewer opens.

And by flipping through the registry keys of the enterprise Windows 10 Photo Viewer, there is no open action, just a print action.

Figure 2 Windows Photo Viewer (Windows Photo Viewer) registry entry with missing open key values

corresponding to the photo Viewer can manipulate the file type is only TIFF and TIF two.

Figure 3 only TIF and TIFF two file types can be manipulated by Windows Photo Viewer

Now we need to enrich these missing builds and elements, extract the material from a healthy Windows 10 Professional, and relate the key values:

Hkey_classes_root\applications\photoviewer.dll

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer\capabilities\fileassociations

The following key values need to be added for the 64-bit version:

Hkey_local_machine\software\wow6432node\microsoft\windows Photo viewer\capabilities\fileassociations

Export all of their registry keys and import them into the Windows 10 Enterprise Edition (the article provides an import attachment for download).

Then we'll see in the "Default program" that Windows Photo Viewer can manipulate these 12 picture formats.

Now we randomly open a picture, Windows will prompt to choose to use that program to open him, here we choose to use the Windows Photo Viewer.

Figure 4 Choose to always use this program to open files

This is the end of the fix.

Note that due to the corresponding key values in the healthy Windows 10 Professional Edition:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer\capabilities\fileassociations

64-bit version also needs to see here

Hkey_local_machine\software\wow6432node\microsoft\windows Photo viewer\capabilities\fileassociations

PNG, GIF, and other files use the equivalent of ". gif" = "PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Gif". However, there is no relevant PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Gif key value in the actual system, so we need to manually modify the extracted registry contents into a structure such as ". gif" = "PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Tiff". After asking to provide modified attachment download, direct import can be.
