    My Windows Photo Viewer cannot display image properly Turns Black


    Hello all,My windows photo viewer app works perfectly when opening photos but it doesn't work on photos that were created by photoshop with the option japan color 2001 coated checked.For example, when I open the image, it appears half a second as normal like this.Then after a second, it turns greyish black.All photos created with the option checked experience this problem.Please help us!!!We've reinstalled the color profile inside color management and reinstalled the photo app but the problem still occurs.Looking forward to seeing a solution soon!Thanks

    :)

    Black transparent image not visible in Photos Viewer (Windows 10)

    Hello,

    I have a concern regarding Photo Viewer in Windows 10. As i am a frequent user of windows i came up with this issue.

    Black transparent images not visible in Photos Viewer because Photo Viewer also have black background. So how can I set to another background or it is by-default black background?

    Below Screenshot related to the issue.

    How to bring back Photo Viewer in Windows 10?

    Unfortunately, none of the above answers worked for me, but they pointed me in the right direction.

    1. Right-click on an image in Windows Explorer, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
    2. In the dialog, scroll down and click on More apps, then `Look for another app on this PC.
    3. Then, at the bottom right, choose All Files (*.*) instead of Programs (*.exe ...), then navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer and choose PhotoViewer.dll.
    4. Photo Viewer opens. Close it.
    5. Repeat Step 1: Right-click again on the image, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
    6. Again scroll down to click on More apps.
    7. Now Windows Photo Viewer appears in the apps list. Choose it and click on Always use this app to open .png files.

    Once you did steps 1-4, you don't have to repeat them for other file types. Steps 5-7 should suffice.
