    MS PHOTOS Not Fit For Purpose


    Ever since Windows 10 came out MS Photos has been not fit for purpose with so many glitches when used to download media from your phone.


    I thought it could not get any worse but IT HAS, MS have clearly done a revision as the interface when you do downloads has changed, for instance there is no longer a toggle to delete media you have down loaded.


    Problem is now when you try to select what photos you want to download it just crashes.


    Don't bore me with all the 'fixes' I've tried them all, uninstalled and reinstalled so many times its painful and tried every single trick suggested , nothing works.


    MS are you not embarrassed that a key part of the Windows 10 interface is so poor? Are you not also embarrassed that after so long you are unable to fix the problem or bring out a replacement that is fit for purpose?


    Try something else I hear you say, well I have I also use Fast Stone Image Viewer, problem is MS Photos is an integral part of Windows 10 used by MS Explorer for instance to view thumbnails and every time I set Fast Stone Image Viewer as default program MS Photos finds a way of weaseling its way back.


    Having said that Fast Stone Image Viewer does not seem to fully integrate so if you want to view thumbnails in File Explorer you can't; you just see a 'placeholder' graphic.


    Why oh why wont MICROSOFT sort this out, I'm actually thinking my next Laptop and Phone will be APPLE at least they have all these BASIC functions working properly.


    I suppose now I will get a load of cut-and-pasted / recycled suggestions from MS instead of a proper solution and some resources spend fixing the problem.

    :)

    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 MS PHOTOS Not Fit For Purpose :) 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.
