How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?




I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

 

Replacement for photo viewer

Win ver 19041.388

Just do not like this "new" photo viewer, it is just cumbersome to operate, lot of extra steps etc. I like the older Win photo viewer, however since JPG files are saved as "unhandled Extension handler finder", *Confused I need something else. Appreciate any suggestions that is not overly optioned, just a simple viewer. Tx

 

Getting rid of Photos

If you want to use another application to open image files then change you can the entry in
Settings,
Apps,
Default apps,
Photo viewer.

You do not need to remove the Photos app. You can just leave it to gather dust.

If you have image files that do not change to your other chosen application then you can manually change them using
right-click {on one of the image file extensions that does not open in your chosen application},
Open with,
Select your chosen application if it is listed,otherwise select Choose another app,
set the checkbox for Always use this app,
select the chosen application if it is on this list,otherwise scroll to the bottom of the list,
click on More apps,
select the chosen application if it is on this list,otherwise scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Look for another app on this PC,
and browse around to find it.Denis
