Windows 10: Cant open CR2 RAW photo files in Windows 10 since recent update.

Since the recent Windows 10 update I can no longer open CR2 RAW photo files. I have Fast Picture Viewer Codex Pack installed on my PC which has done the job in the past.

.CR2 raw files not opening

Hi,

We may open .cr2 files using the Photo file. We need additional information to help resolve your concern. Are you getting any error message when opening a .cr2 file format? If yes, we recommend setting a default program to open the file. Follow the steps below:

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

Keep us in the loop with the result.

 

Trouble with Canon CR2 RAW files


Thanks for the replies. I just had a quick chat with Canon. They're stumped too. Makes no sense why Windows 10 can handle all the existing CR2 files from this camera with no problem at all, but can't display any new ones that I try to download to my computer. I shot a test pic in JPG a few minutes ago, and that one is fine in Windows. Somewhere along the line Windows is eating the CR2, because the other photo editing software (including Canon's DPP) can't work with the new ones either.
Here's the display in File Explorer - existing CR2 files and new ones:




The Windows photo editor says it can't open the file.
Maybe I have to shoot JPG with this camera from now on, which is a pain because RAW allows you to salvage pics that might otherwise be unusable.
Thanks.

 

Canon 7D MKII not opening .CR2 RAW files in windows 10

Hi -

I recently upgraded to a Canon 7D MkII and unable to open the .CR2 RAW files in any Microsoft product. I have attempted to down load the codex but this will not work with Win 10 or Win 8. I have read a number of additional queries in this forum on this query
- is there any progress with a updated Microsoft codex?

There is no subtopic under photography & listed under other settings?
