I want to change the default app to open PNG files in my laptop. Usually I can do that by right clicking, click "open with", click "choose another app", and at the bottom of the modal window there will be a checkbox "Always use this app to open..." to change the default app.
But in this laptop the "always use..." checkbox doesn't appear in the context menu:
I tried opening Settings > Apps > Default apps. At the bottom I chose "choose defaults by file type". I searched for "png" in the search box, but it didn't show normal PNG, just Azure Information Protection Viewer:
I tried opening Apps > Default apps > IrfanView 32-bit, the application that I want to set as default viewer. PNG is not available there either:
PNG is not available in Windows Photo Viewer either:
When I double click a PNG, the application that opens is "Print Pictures":
But there is no apps called "Print Pictures" in my laptop.
This happens on JPG as well.
I have tried to "reset all default apps" from the bottom of the "Default apps" page as well. No luck.
How do I set IrfanView as the default app to open PNG under this condition?
