But a number of design inconsistencies across the UI are caused by the combination of functions and styles.
#WINDOWS PHOTO VIEWER WINDOWS 10 SUCKS WINDOWS 8#
In Windows 10, Microsoft combined the looks of Windows 8 and 7, for example, refreshed the Start menu and notifications, canceled the Charms menu, etc. To “speed things up”, they have also enabled hardware acceleration for you, whether your computer is suited for this set up or not (how convenient!). Windows 10 is garbage because of its bad design. Photo Viewer is trying to bring your photos into your connected life-style by connecting it up to your OneDrive account as well as enabling sharing for friends and family.

As most free apps in 2019, “free” is not always “free”. It turns out that the default settings are less than ideal for performance. This behavior led me to suspect that the problem was that the program was waiting for something to connect or time out.

Once loaded, it seems more or less fine and will load quickly again the next time. If you want to skip to the good stuff, just look for the list in the next section.īasically, I think the issue is the result of several problems mixed together causing Photo Viewer to take up to 10 seconds to load. Just like Apple.This was driving me crazy on multiple machines and, after playing around with a few options, I think I got to the root of the issue.

Notice the taskbar on Win 11? Plus other things they’ve removed from HOME version but still allow on the PRO version.

Microsoft is forgetting about the STUPID rule and is making things complicated in their efforts to become an Apple look alike. On Photos, if you enlarge it, you have to return it to size before you can find the arrow to go to the next image. Because of this I’m guessing it’s the apps, but I love Windows Photo Viewer because I can enlarge the image and still be able to go to the next photo. Some from Signal still work and some don’t and Telegram still works fine. I will have to try it on another computer to see if it’s my system but I get the usual “Windows photo viewer can’t display….” These are mostly pictures I’ve saved from our chats on Elements. Reset it on Win 11, and still the same issue so I don’t know if it’s some coding on new photos or it’s just no longer functional for some reason. I’ve been using this fix since Win 10 first came out, but this past year, after one of the updates, not all pictures will open up. Click the "More Apps" option and scroll down the list, it will not display Photo Viewer among the choices, because it is hidden by the operating system. Select the "Open With" menu item and click on "Choose Another App". You can verify this by selecting any image and right-clicking on it. Well, if you like the simplicity of the legacy application, you are probably going to be disappointed to hear that Windows 11 does not include Photo Viewer by default. The interface may appear slightly confusing, if you are coming over from Photo Viewer. It is rather sluggish to open, it takes an extra second or two to load, even when you are trying to view images which are just a few KB in size. The main reason why people do not like the Photos app is due to its performance. The Photos App isn't bad at all, in fact it comes with a built-in Video Editor, and I think it is quite useful. If you look at the previous iteration, it also had some unwelcome changes such as the Photos app, which replaced the Windows Photo Viewer. Microsoft treats it as the best free photo viewer for Windows 10. It allows you to edit photos with no hassle and do more things, such as searching photos for places. The Photos app is first introduced with Windows 10 as a replacement for Windows Photo Viewer. Windows 11 brings a slew of new features, some of which have not been well received among users. Little image editing features, not supporting GIFs.
