This is a bug in Windows 11. To prevent that, don't let IrfanView to set the file association in the registry.- Don't do any file association during IrfanView installation.
- Set the file association manually for individual file types using File Explorer.
- In IrfanView, in Settings ? Extensions, use "Load custom file types" and write all desired file extensions here.

It is clearly not a bug in IrfanView as Windows 11 is not officially supported yet. See the download page:- Supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10
When version 4.59 comes out, if it officially supports Windows 11, then we can look again at this issue.

With the precautions above, IrfanView will run on Windows 11 just fine.
Windows is expected to run most older programs, it is not IrfanView's fault that Windows can break so easily. This is clearly an oversight by Microsoft.My system: IrfanView 4.62 64bit, Windows 10 22H2, Intel Core i5-3570, 16GB RAM, NVidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB

I tried Windows 11, but I didn't like this operating system. Version 11 has a new interface that I'm not used to. I used Windows 11 for a week, but then I reinstalled version 10. Moreover, I decided to buy a license activation key. All the time I was using a pirate version, but many people advised me to try the licensed version of the OS. I found where the best place to buy a Windows activation key was through reddit. I have no regrets about the money spent.Last edited by MikeFletcher; 05.02.2023, 06:03 PM.
