    Alternative to Media Player for photos?


    Hello!I'm trying to access and view photos from my other pc which is considered a 'Media device'. I can only open this with Media Player, but it's not very convenient. It hangs, it opens images as if they're videos, there's no preview pane and whenever I open an image, the program's browser closes itself and I have to click 'switch to library' in an image to get it to open again.Is there anything else I could use to open the media device? Maybe browse the images using the file explorer in some way? Or perhaps someone knows of a third party alternative that is compatible with images? I'd love t

    :)

    Alternative to Media player in Win 10


    What are you trying to do? If it's just play/display them Windows Photo App or Windows Photo Viewer will do it.
    VLC Media Player is a good alternative to Windows Media Player.
