Manual Method 1: Open JPEG in another Photo viewer application

This is the first thing you should try in case of registry errors in JPEG files. Open the JPG/JPEG images with other photo viewer applications, apart from the built-in Windows Photos app. Just right-click on the JPEG/JPG file and choose from applications to view the image. You can also pick the image viewing app in the Microsoft store to open your photos.

Manual Method 2:  Reset Photos App

  • Go to Start > Settings > System > Apps & Features
  • Click on Photos app
  • A box appears, select Advanced Options and click the Reset button

Manual Method 3: Perform Drivers update

  • In the Start tab type Device Manager. Select Device Manager from the list displayed
  • Expand Display Adapters and right click on the graphics driver listed and select Update Driver
  • Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

Manual Method 4: Update Windows Photo Viewer

  • Go to Start> Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update
    Select Check for updates
  • Check the Photo Viewer icon and click Install Updates at the bottom

  • Here you will find several entries each with a version number, like Windows.Photos_15.1201.10020.0_etc. If this folder contains 8 Microsoft Windows Photos App entries, it means half (4) are outdated. If it has 4 entries, 2 are outdated and so on. The outdated entry is the lower version number. Delete one by one all the outdated entries.
  • To delete outdated entries, select an outdated entry, right-click, and open Properties
  • Select Security and open Permissions
  • Click Advanced in Select User or Group window
  • Select Find Now, select your username and click OK
  • Now right-click on the outdated entry and choose Delete
  • Do the same for each outdated entries

To run DISM follow the below steps:

  • Press the Windows key + X to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (Admin)
  • Type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. It takes about 20 minutes to complete the process

Now perform SFC scan as below:

  • Right-click Command Prompt
  • Click Run as administrator
  • In the command prompt window type sfc /scannow and press Enterinvalid value for registry error - Perform command prompt window type sfc /scannow

    The Reset Photos App is by far the most useful solution I have come across. It works 90% of time for Windows 10 users. Resetting deletes settings and cached data so saves memory too 🙂 Thanks!
