Windows 10: Good free photo editor?

I've yet to find one. Here's what I've tried:

• Adobe Photoshop express: not avail for PC
• Darktable: UI sucks and lacks basic editing stuff
• GIMP: UI also sucks and couldn't find functionality I wanted
• Ashampoo: would not install (R/W error)
• PhotoDirector: With "free" version, you can't save images without a watermark making it worthless
• XnView: could not get effects to work

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall
