Windows 10: Disable Microsoft Photo filmstrip

Hi,Microsoft Photos was recently automatically updated to version 2023.11080.4003.0.A filmstrip is now shown at the bottom of the window, showing thumbnails of images in the same directory as the viewed image.It can be disabled by pressing F, but only for the current session.Is there a method e.g. registry change to permanently disable the Photos filmstrip?Thanks

:)

 

Where are Photo filmstrip and handles?

I tried to view the pictures located in the LAN shared folder in the latest versions of Windows 11 and MS Photos, and found that filmstrips and handles worked. But it's worth noting that:

• When you click anywhere in the image, the filmstrips and handles disappear and can be restored by clicking again.
  
• And when you look at the first (last) picture, Previous(Next) disappears, and if there is only one picture, none of the above is displayed, it's by design.
  

 

Windows 11 Photos filmstrip

If the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen when you open a folder of photos in Windows 11 irritates you as much as it irritates me, try this:
1. Open the first photo in the folder
The first photo in the folder will open with the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen
2. Left-click on the photo
Hey presto! The filmstrip will disappear and it won't come back when you click on the > to scroll forward to the next photo.
Works for me, anyway.

 

Where are Photo filmstrip and handles?

New installation, newest version.

Photo app only shows a single photo at a time. No filmstrip and no handles to advance to next photo.

In Settings the filmstrip is set to on.
