Windows 10: Windows 11 not allowing me to open JPG files

I've had this issue for a while, but it's really started to frustrate and upset me as I have a lot of images and photos that I have kept for years that I can no longer open. I have recently moved country, and so my photos are the only things I have to remember friends and family, and I cannot open them.I swapped from PC to a Dell laptop a few years ago, and transferred files via OneDrive and some via hard drive.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

IE 11 in Windows 10 not allow files to open in FTP portal

Originally my laptop was using Windows 8.1 and I got to upgrade to Windows 10 recently. Before upgrade I can still open files in ftp portal and am able to upload, download and delete files there but I totally failed to do so after upgraded
to Windows 10. Before I put my question here I have asked the Microsoft CS Officer in Hong Kong about my issue then they gave me this link for reference to get the helpful answer.



Redirecting



However I have gone through the entire article and tried certain suggestion but still don’t work. Honestly there have some suggestions are too difficult to understand and some that I daren’t to follow and don’t know how to follow such as methods
as below.



My questions are:

• 
  Does Windows 10 still support IE 11 allow files to open in FTP portal?
  
• 
  The following instructions are tailor-made for Windows 7 and how about the terms for Windows 10?
  
• 
  I tried but I really don’t know how to do Method 1 & 2, even though I know it but scare to do the resetting because I don’t know what will be happened? I just did Method 3 the second part, it was fine but not the normal setting
  that I wanted as usual just type the ftp address in the browser then open in a separated window. I can do everything there!
  

Can any top level users or technicians help me to solve this problem? Many thanks in advance!
