Having just installed Windows 10 REDSTONE 4 {Spring Creator's Update}, I can say that things look like they haven't changed from REDSTONE 3 {Fall Creator's Update}.
You still can't choose Irfanview (either 32 or 64 bit) as your default Photo Viewer OR Video Player (see image), although it quite happily appears as an option for playing music.
Here is what I mean from a screen cap on my system...you can see that IrfanView does not appear as an option for either Photo Viewer or Video Player...
Some people have said to associate IrfanView with one or more photo or video file extensions and then it shows up as an option in the list as a global player for your photos or videos, but this doesn't work for me for whatever reason.
It would be nice for this to work properly because the only alternative is to go in to either Default Apps by File Type or Defaults by App and click dozens and dozens of times to associate each file type with IrfanView.
If it was just my personal computer I'd put up with this, but I have 10 computers at my house and 30 at the school I administer and that represents far too much effort.
There is now a different proper way to have a program register as a potential new handler for a file extension (or globally as a photo viewer or video player), but you are not doing it.
Please, download/install REDSTONE 4, consult MSDN or TechNet on the new way to do things, and fix this.
