    Still can't view CR2. files from Canon 5D mark IV

    Hi,

    We understand your concern regarding the possible update that will enable you to view raw CR2 files using Windows Photo Viewer app. To better assist you, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you tried sending a feedback using the Feedback Hub app?
    • Have you tried to set other photo editing app to open the CR2 file by default instead of the Windows Photo Viewer app?
    We're looking forward to your response

    • Open Settings.
    • Click Apps.
    • Click Default apps.
    • Click Choose default apps by file type.
    • Locate .cr2, then select Photos as the default app.

    Canons own software allows viewing obviously, as do other standalone programs. Adobe Apple etc all updated their software quickly why cant Microsoft? The ability to view my photos quickly using photo viewer was great for sorting and deleting using my old camera.
    I'm not a professional photographer just an enthusiast, trying to use windows for quick editing and sharing.
