How to Change Default Program to Open Picture File In Windows 8

By default in Windows 8 when we explorer image files (jpg, png, bmp, etc) then we open / double click, the image file will be opened by the default program called  Photos.

I think using photos take a longer time when loading, and can't click next or back to others picture directly from viewer, so I decide to change this default program, from photos to Windows Photo Viewer.



You also can change this default program  using other picture viewer you may have, or  use Windows Photo Viewer.

To change the default program for opening pictures/images from Photos to other photo viewer or to Windows Photo Viewer :

• Right-click on one of the image file
• Then select Open with

• Click  Choose default program


• Give a tick on Use this app for all JPG files
• Select / click Windows Photo Viewer , or other program you may have


Now you can try to open JPG files, should have been opened by the Windows Photo Viewer.

Perform the same steps for other picture files:  bmp, gif, png, etc..

Vaio stuck on loading screen after upgrading to Windows 10

My Sony Vaio laptop model : VPCCA16FB with originally using Windows 7 operating system, then now I already upgraded it to Windows 10. All drivers are already installed for each device, everything is OK with this Windows 10 OS. The only problem is:  when I switch the laptop on or restarting it, after vaio logo appears then it stuck with blank screen and it takes about 2 minutes. After that, then it continues to loading Windows. After I googling about the problem, I am not only the one, other people also have the similar problem with their laptops. The cause is in the Ultra Low Power State (ULPS) system. ULPS is a feature or mode in hardware (graphics card) designed to save power by reducing energy consumption to very low levels. Now the problem is solved. If you have the same or similar problem, maybe this below step will help you too.
