I’m on windows 10 and I have Paint associated to some image file extension, e.g. *.png.
Since a recent update (either 1809, build 17763.475 or slightly earlier) when I double click a png file, it is printed rather than opened. The same thing happen if I associate the png to something else and right click->open with->paint, then it also prints.
Right clicking a png file shows this with paint associated to png:
How to turn the default Print into Open as it used to? Am I the only one experiencing this?
Answer
The problem was in Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\Shell
Adding there the key open with a command key with value "%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1" and changning the shell default value to open fixed the problem.
