Windows 10: Install the old MS PhotoEd in Win 10?

Win10 1909 (18363.628) x64

I still want the extremely simple and effective functionality that MS Photo Editor provides (photoed.exe from old Office versions). I have an x64 installer somebody made for Win7 (worked perfectly in Win7) and tested installing it into Win10 ~ it seemed to work EXCEPT that MS Update demanded some XP-sp3 updates which either would not install or could not be found. These appear to be available as standalone downloads from sites like CNET and such, but I'm wondering if installing these old elements -- unsupported updates and such -- into Win10 is significantly problematic.

Please note I'm not looking for alternative image editor suggestions (and not interested in virtualization), just wondering two things:

(A) does anybody have a dedicated Win10 installer for MS Photo Editor?
(B) assuming I can install and run it, do the XP-period elements represent a significant, persistent security risk for Win10?

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

 

How to Install Old Epson Perfection 1200 Scanner in Windows 10


Thanks for the info - This also works with my Win 7, 64 bit system.
Photos are a zip, but when I attempt to scan a negative, the lid light switches off and I wind up with a lovely scan of the underside of the lid.
Perhaps I missed a key step?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

 

Old win 7/8 photoviewer in win 10 ?

Hi !

I would like to use the old win7/8 photo viewer in my win 10 machine to watch photos.

Otherwise the old photoviewer works fine but the sorting of the pictures is annoying: if I

-have JPG and RAW files in same directory and

-sort them by type so that in file manager lists the jpg's first,

-double click the first JPG (the old photoviewer displays the first jpg correctly but) but

-when I try to see the next picture by pressing the arrow on bottom, the photo viewer shows the RAW file, not the next JPG (in win 8 this works fine).

Is there any possibility to change the old photoviewer to work as it does in win8 ?

Thanks for help, Martti
