App I want to select does not appear in list of apps in choose default apps by type

I want my image files to open in Photoshop by default. So under Settings > Choose Default Apps by Type I went, for example to .jpg andc clicked and selected Photoshop 2021 from the list of apps. However, when I go to .png the list of apps only inlcudes Photos, Paint, Paint 3D, Snip & Sketch., and Look for an App in the Microsoft Store. I don't want to look for an app in the Microsoft Store. Photoshop 2021 is already on my machine and shows up for .jpg for instance. But I can't select it for .png. Why? How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

If you go to a PNG file in file explorer, right click it and go to the open with menu.

Go to choose another app, look for photoshop and make sure you check the box to alway use this app.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Elise
