MartinsV Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Very frequently paint.net voluntarily sets itself as a default image viewer/editor on Windows10 disregarding all my attempts to set other programs as default viewers/editors. What do I need to stop paint.net from behaving like this? I have this problem for already like 1-2 years. (I am very well informed how to set defaults in Windows, it has to be something with the program's behaviour) Edited April 20, 2021 by MartinsV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybug Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The only advice I have is right-clicking on the file with the extension you want to change and then in File Explorer choose the button for open that has a drop-down menu in the tool bar or simply from the list that opens when you right-click choose "Open with". After using either method pick "Choose another app". When you find the program you rather use with that type of file, just make sure to select the check-box for "Always use this app to open xxx files." You have already tried setting defaults in Windows so maybe someone else has an internal way to let Paint.net open certain file extensions. 1 Quote Click HERE to see my Pictorium of images I have worked on.
