Windows 10 Photo Viewer

[Mike Soda]

I'm looking for a Photo Viewer for Windows 10 Home 64-bit that's as close as possible to that found on Windows 7. I've tried Microsoft Photos on the Windows Store but once I zoom in or make an image I'm viewing full screen, the other options at the top of the screen disappear & refuse to come back unless I restart the app. I know there's loads of third party programs like this available on the Windows Store & probably elsewhere too. I'd like the communities opinions on some of these though so I don't accidentally get something malicious. Most specifically, I just want a tool to view, zoom, rotate & skip to next photo within that folder. I use Gimp for advanced editing which takes too long to open if I just need to check out an image quickly. So which app do y'all use or recommend?

you can get back the old photo viewer, google around and you'll find a solution

I have used the Windows 7 photo viewer in Windows 10. There's a way to do it (have to check how I did it), but I don't know if it still works on the newest Windows 10.

Hi

 

I use Windows 10 Photos. You can use mouse to Zoom in and out . The mouse wheel is and option you will find in Microsoft Photos web site .

 

Error , You just need to open the photos app in the start menu

 

To get the Wheel Zoom in Option Go

 

Log into you Microsoft account, You can do that when you Star your computer. There is and option to log to your account.

 

Once log in into you account. 

 

Go to Start  on your computer ( or keyboard )

Type -- > Photos <--

Press Enter to go to Microsoft Photos web site 

 

Go to Setting --> Top right corner  

 

 

 

The setting for the wheel option are at bottom when you open

 

 

 

 

Then you are done Just mouse click on any photos to open in Microsoft Photos app

 

 

Note : The wheel option may not work on all format

Yeah I found out it's a registry edit & although I'm fairly certain TenForums wouldn't advise anything malicious. I'll probably still decline that option found here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/14312-restore-windows-photo-viewer-windows-10-a.html

Thank you, I think I'm just gonna make this work. Although I'm a bit annoyed that since I downloaded & installed Microsoft Photos it wont let me uninstall it now. Or is that actually the app you've instructed me to use?

Microsoft --> photos <-- is the  basic Windows 10 photos application, and can be found in the All Apps list, under P , in the Start menu.

I got annoyed by default viewer making albums without my consent. Even after I disabled that feature. So it got uninstalled. Now I use Basic Photo Viewer which does just what I need. Quick view on items without having to change folder thumbnail size.

I just notice the Photos app as a more basic model.

If you use the drop menu on a photos , and open it with the --> Photos <-- app you get the very basic viewer. It.s much better the the Photos in the app list ( start )
