Windows 10: Microsoft Photos App: Unlock zoom restrictions

I've encountered something that you could call a bug at this point, in the Photos App pressing Ctrl&1, Ctrl&+ or simply scrolling updown? will zoom in on your image. A standard image allows zooming in past 100% maxing out at some point, but an overly tall image can max out before even reaching 100%, it seems that the height of the image is related to the allowed zoom level. Example. an 800x800 image allows a zoom of 623%, while a 1400x10000 only allows a zoom level of 49%. Some examples of these tall images would be CYOA, Manhwa, etc. in both cases the inability to zoom to 100% woul

Photo/WPV default zoom level


Photo/WPV default zoom level


Hello guys,
I wish I could set the default zoom level of my default photo viewer (I can choose Photo app or Windows Photo Viewer or some third program too).
I want the default program to be able to open/switch within photos at the default photo size (100% zoom of the photo) and not with the default screen size (100% zoom of the screen size).
Any idea how to do that? Maybe some registry key to edit? Any software to suggest?
Thanks for your help, Luca.

How to set Win 10 Photo App to Zoom with the mouse wheel


I know this is an older post, but Google still ranks it high, thus my update. Microsoft gave us the ability to set the Mouse Wheel to either Zoom or Scroll to next image:

1. Open the Windows Icon (lower left) and scroll through the list of apps
2. Open the PHOTO app
3. Select the “three dot” icon in upper right corner …
4. Select SETTINGS from the pulldown menu
5. Look under Viewing and Editing Section, the Mouse Wheel Subsection
6. Select “Zoom In and Out” instead of “View Next or Previous Item”
