johnoo Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have heard today that this is to be killed in the "Fall" update of Win.10 Rumor or fact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 If you do a 'Windows Photo Viewer" in Google Johnoo, there are several items on this matter. I must admit I haven't heard of it disappearing from Windows in the fall. Although I don't use Windows very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Looking into it, it looks as if while the old photo viewer isn't exactly being killed off if you have an upgrade installation, in some cases after the update newer apps are being set as the default application, so some people are having to open up Settings and go to System > Default apps. and re-select Windows photo viewer. Weirdly this doesn't seem to affect everybody, don't ask me why. If however it's a brand new installation from an iso file Windows photo viewer may no longer an option and a bit of faffing about is needed to add it.

It may be that you're looking at large multi Mb images which can be a bit of a load, if it's an issue check out some of the competitors.

RonPeters Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 You can get Photo Viewer back in Windows 10, though. It's just hidden. If you upgrade a PC running Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10, Windows Photo Viewer will be available and you can set it as your default photo viewer if you want. After you do that, you can then set it as your default photo viewer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
