Windows 11 changes to default file opening applications

I have recently changed from Windows 10(W10) to Windows 11(W11) and strange image file opening on left mouse click are occurring.
Previously under W10 left clicks opened the file in ACDSee Pro 6 and right click allowed the selection of ACDSee functions Edit, Develop and Print etc.
Now under W11 left click opens Windows Picture Viewer and right clicking remains the same as under W10.
XYplorer is up to date and so is W11.
The settings in W11 under Setting/Apps/ACDSee are defaulted to include all the image files it is capable of opening.
There are no settings for Windows Photo Viewer but there are for Windows Picture Viewer. All image files here are set to open with ACDSee?

Pictures included.

The table below shows how the various image files perform.

WPV = Windows Picture Viewer

Now here is the hint to the issue.
When using W11 File Explorer the file openings are all as they were under W10.

Thanks a bunch.
The 3rd line down was ticked. Undo and it works as per W10.
Maybe other folks can learn.
