    Image rotates after viewing in Windows Photo Viewer


    More a bug report than a question, so hopefully someone can refer this to the appropriate parties.After previewing an image in the default Windows Photo Viewer, the image rotates by itself.I originally thought I had hit the rotate buttons in the new Explorer but it happened again tonight, and I’m sure “it’s not me, it’s you”.There’s no rhyme or reason to which photos this happens, and whether they go 90 per cent left or 90 per cent right, but this is always 100 per cent annoying since I have to download the original again.I don’t know who decided ’Let me program something which rotates an imag

    Replacement for photo viewer

    I just use the Photos app for a quick view, otherwise I use Adobe Lightroom to view and edit photos.

    Image rotates after viewing in Windows Photo Viewer

    Windows 10 Photo viewer continuously rotates photo.

    While viewing and rotating a photo in the Photo viewer using the rotate icon on the app commands bar (Windows 10 on a Surface 3 non-pro), the photo spins continuously. Leaving the photo with the > icon and then returning makes it stop. Has anyone else had
    this happen? I was finally able to get it to rotate normally, but how strange!
