Answer 1

Hello

It sounds like your file icons are not displaying correctly and are instead showing the Opera GX logo. This could be due to a file association issue.

Here’s how you can try to fix it:

1.Open Default Apps settings: Click on the Start menu, then select Settings > Apps > Default apps.

2.Choose default applications by file type: Scroll down and click the “Choose default applications by file type” link.

3.Change the default app for .png and .jpg files: In the new window, you’ll see a long list of file types and the apps associated with them. Find the .png and .jpg (or any other image file types you’re having trouble with) and click on the app next to it. In the menu that pops up, choose the app you’d like to use to open these types of files. You might want to choose the Photos app for this.

4.Restart your computer: Once you’ve made these changes, restart your computer to ensure the changes take effect.

If the issue persists, it might be worth scanning your computer for malware, as some types of malware can cause unusual behavior like this.
