When you double-click an image file (e.g., JPG\/PNG\/BMP) in Windows 11, the image file opens in the “Print Pictures” app\/dialog instead of the Photos app.<\/p>\n

This happens if the “Print” command is somehow registered as the default double-click action for image files in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

Reinstalling the Photos app<\/a> doesn’t resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

Cause<\/h2>\n

The above symptom is caused by a buggy shell extension that comes with the Clipchamp app. The above bug could be simulated in the current version (v2.3.0.0) of Clipchamp.<\/p>\n

See also: Troubleshoot Shell extension issues in Windows<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Solution<\/h2>\n

To resolve the problem, disable the Clipchamp shell extension (Clipchamp.ShellExtension.dll<\/code>) via the registry, or uninstall the Clipchamp app if you don’t plan to use it.<\/p>\n

You can uninstall<\/a> Clipchamp via the Start menu or Settings \u2192 Apps & Features.<\/p>\n

\"uninstall<\/p>\n

Alternately, to disable Clipchamp shell extension only (without removing the app), open Command Prompt as administrator. Then, run the following command:<\/p>\n

reg add \"HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Shell Extensions\\Blocked\" \/v {8AB635F8-9A67-4698-AB99-784AD929F3B4} \/f<\/pre>\n
RELATED:<\/strong> Remove “Edit with Clipchamp” from the Right-click Menu<\/a><\/div>\n
Log off and log back in for the change to take effect.<\/p>\n
\n
Undo Information<\/h4>\n
If Microsoft fixes the bug in a future release of Clipchamp, you can unblock its shell extension using the following command-line:<\/p>\n
reg delete \"HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Shell Extensions\\Blocked\" \/v {8AB635F8-9A67-4698-AB99-784AD929F3B4} \/f<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
