In case of Server 2019 machine being used as Desktop (eg RDSH VDI scenario), it might be useful to change default photo application from paint to photo viewer using:
# Go to '<tt>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Photo Viewer</tt>' and look for DLLs related to photo viewer.  If they are not there, copy them from the same path from a Windows 10 machine.
# Register the DLLs using Administrator CMD:
#:<pre>
#:: regsvr32 “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll”
#:</pre>
# Download the registry keys from https://smarthomepursuits.com/download/2844/ (Reference for these steps.  Download is only 9.4KB in size)
# Import the registry keys using '<tt>regedit</tt>'.  File > Import > browse to the location where four extracted registry files are present. All four need to be imported.
# Chnage default photo app to "Photo viewer" by searching Windows for “Default Apps” and then changing Photos app to Windows Photo Viewer.
# Search Windows for folder options.  In folder Options. Change to the View tab and uncheck “Always show icons, never thumbnails”.
