  3. Unable to unzip pictures to windows photo viewer

    Hi Carol,

    you might face such issues if the file is zipped.

    I suggest you to unzip the file and check.

    To do so follow the steps below.

    Open File Explorer and find the zipped folder.
    • To unzip the entire folder, right-click (or press and hold) it, select
      Extract All,
      then follow the instructions.
    • To unzip a single file or folder, double-click the zipped folder to open it. Then, drag or copy the item from the zipped folder to a new location.

    Reply us with the status of the issue in regards with Windows Photo Viewer. Your reply is important to assist you better.

    Regards,
