Not implemented error on open with

[D2Reu]

I am trying to right click and use open with on a .jpeg file to open the file with Affinity Photo 2.   Windows pops up a Not implemented error see attached.  I am not finding much using google search.   Any thoughts?   Has anyone else had and fixed this error.  BTW, I can open Photo 2 and the use File-OPen to open the jpeg, but that is an annoying workaround.

Does it work with any other photo app?

Did you came across this article?

Diiginng a bit deeper inti this:
While I do not see this error, when you use the search string "right click open with not implemented" in Google, you will find tons of reports affecting all kinds of applications.

So it is definitely not a Serif problem. Maybe one of the suggested solutions helps

Mopperle,  Yes, all other options presented when right clicking a photo and selecting open with work fine, including Photos Legacy, Paint, Paint 3D, etc.   It may turn out to not be a Serif problem, but I am looking for ideas and have exhausted most of the posts found from Googling as you suggested (and as I did before posting here).  However, a couple of the workarounds were found that can probably be used.   1) move the file to the desktop, then right click open with works....  2) right click, open with,  choose another app, affiniti photo 2 + make this the default app (this has to be done each time a new photo is opened).      It is looking like a windows problem, and will post here if I find the solution.
