Try installing or using another photo viewer as your default to see if that fixes it. Irfanview is free and highly rated by those who test these things (and it works for me) but there are others as well.
I'm using the Microsoft Photos app. The jpgs are on my hard drive. I can double click them and they open in the Microsoft Photos app. The Word document is on my computer and I can link the jpg in Word successfully (as well as all the other hyperlinks). I'm using the Word app, and not the cloud app.

No, I am not linking to anything online.

The Microsoft Photo app is almost certainly not the problem.

All the files are local to my hard drive.

I can open the jpg in a browser just fine.

I can open the jpg in Microsoft Photos just fine.

???

Thanks!
