I do not known what happen recently but I guess it is related to a windows update.

I was able to quick preview .webp file attachment in outlook 2016, but all of sudden, it is not working anymore.

My file association are now associate with Google Chrome.

I was expecting to see Microsoft Photo in the list of available application to open the .webp files but it not listed.

Any suggestion?

    Hi Leonardo,

    What I really want to do, it is to see the image (.webp type in attachment) directly in Outlook without opening another  external application.  It used to work fine since a few weeks ago. Now, the outlook preview is not working and if I double-click on the file, google chrome is the application choose by default to sse the image instead of Microsoft Photo.

    In the file association for .webp file type, the microsoft Photo is not listed.

    Hi! I'm Leonardo! An Independent Advisor and also a Microsoft user for several years. I'll be more than happy to assist you today!

    Where did you go to try and associate this file type with another program?

    In case you tried something different, follow the steps below and if if you can associate this file type with another program:

    1.Right-click the Start button (or hit the WIN+X hotkey) and choose Settings.

    2.Select Apps from the list.

    3.Choose Default apps on the left.

    4.Scroll down a little and select Choose default apps by file type.

    5.Locate the file extension for which you want to change the default program.

    If you're not sure what extension the file is using, open File Explorer to find the file and use the View > File name extensions option to show file extensions.

    6.In the Choose default apps by file type window, select the program to the right of the file extension. If there isn't one listed, select Choose a default instead.

    7.In the Choose an app pop-up window, pick a new program to associate with that file extension. If there isn't one listed that you want to use, try Look for an app in the Store.

    Windows 10 will now open the program you chose each time you open a file with that extension from File Explorer.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if that works for you.
