2WojtekWhat could be the problem?
As I may suppose, the message right above yours, by Christian Ghisler, answers your question, and there's nothing you can do with that.
So I ended up using the following approach:
I keep somewhere a folder (let's say called 'imageFormats') with a sample of each and every image format I'm primarily interested in.
When I see something gets wrong with the associations, I go to that folder to see what formats have been affected by another Windows update.
As soon as I am in there I restore the associations one by one by hand.
Let's say there are seven image formats of my primary interest, and each one requires up to ten seconds to be reset as I like, so it will take me about a minute max to restore my preferred environment.
NB I don't bother to keep any specific image sample, I just recreate them as needed with ImageMagick as follows:
Code:
magick -size 32x32 xc:Aqua sample_JPG_Aqua.jpg magick -size 32x32 xc:Black sample_JPEG_Black.jpeg magick -size 32x32 xc:Blue sample_BMP_Blue.bmp magick -size 32x32 xc:Honeydew sample_GIF_Honeydew.gifmagick -size 32x32 xc:Lime sample_PCX_Lime.pcx magick -size 32x32 xc:Moccasin png32:sample_PNG_Moccasin.pngmagick -size 32x32 xc:Tomato sample_TIFF_Tomato.tiffStatistics: Posted by beb — 2024-01-05, 17:29 UTC
