Windows 10: Linking duplicates isn't working on Photos app, anyway to disable cr2 from showing?

Hi all,

I really like the windows 10 Photos app. It's pleasing to look at and work with. The only problem is that it continues to show cr2 files and the problem with that is that it takes too long to load. I've tried deleting both cr2 registries and even a couple more using cntrl+f. Whenever I reboot my computer they reappear. The option to link duplicates in the Photos app also isn't working. It still shows my jpeg and cr2 files. If anyone has any solutions please help out. I've tried other applications but they just don't have the flurr that window's Photos has.


Thanks

:)

 

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Photo Viewer does not show photos in sorted order

"Linked Duplicates" was already turned on. When I import the photos they come in as IMG_1.CR2, IMG_1.JPG, IMG_2.CR2, IMG_2.JPG, etc.
I change the sort order to show first all CR2 and then all JPG.
I go into Windows Photo Viewer, open the 1st .JPG photo and then try to > to the next .JPG - I get CR2 instead!

For details on the Photos app sort order, see a previous post of mine in this post:
Windows 10 photo viewer

If you want to view all the JPG's without the Canon CR2 raw files, then go to Photos App > Settings > and turn on 'Linked Duplicates'. "Exact Duplicates are shown as a single file. This might include copies saved in different folders and RAW files.
