Windows 10: Microsoft photos just opens one image

Hello!

I have an interesting bug, it's not a dealbreaker but it can be anoying sometimes.
So when I open a picture with the microsoft photos app (from explorer) sometimes only one picture opens and I can't see the next ones. So it looks like if I just have that one image in the folder, but this is not true.
So my question would be that what can I do with this? Did someone experienced familiar bugs with this?

UNABLE TO OPEN IMAGES AND VIDEOS

Hi,

Have you tried performing the troubleshooting steps listed in the article given by
Robert Caw? It was posted above.

As a workaround, you may try these steps:

• Right-click the photo or video.
• You'll see a pop-up box, choose Open With.
• Then choose Paint or Photos to open an image.
  
  (There are also options to open videos when you click Open With.)

We look forward to your response.

 

How to open multiple images in same instance of Photo Viewer?


Wow, thanks a lot for replying so quickly! In other forums I sometimes have to wait for days for a reply

I also have Builld 10240 and Windows Photo Viewer is already set as my default program for all picture formats.
Stepping through all images in a folder works for me but sometimes I only want to select just a few images in a folder (by clicking on each image while holding down CTRL) and step through this selection in Windows Photo Viewer. When I select 5 images in a folder that contains 100 images and I hit enter, 5 instances of Windows Photo Viewer open up.
Edwin, did I get this right that on your PC this operation only opens one instance of Photo Viewer?

PS: Since English isn't my mother tongue, maybe sometimes my explanations aren't that easy to follow. Please bear with me *Redface

 

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.
