How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?




I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

 

Windows 10 Snip and Sketch as a photo viewer?

H Kristie

Snip and Sketch is not a Photo Viewer, it is the Photos App in Windows 10 that is the default Photo Viewer

Snip and Sketch is just a screen shot app

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Apps and find the Photos App

Select that, choose Advanced Options - Reset

Then check the functionality of the Photos App . . .

 

Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10  


Brink, are there any risks to any of these methods? Would using any of them run any risk of damaging the registry in a way that could cause BSODs or any other type of issue?

Also, I have a question regarding this particular method:

I noticed that you said that it causes Windows Photo Viewer to be listed twice in "Open With". Is this at all problematic? Is it a sign of any sort of registry damage or corruption? And does it matter which one of the two instances of Windows Photo Viewer one selects from the "Open With" menu, or do each of them provide identical results?

And unless I'm mistaken, the advantage of using this particular method is that it allows one to view files in the order of (for example) date modified, name, size, etc (whichever way the folder is currently sorted in Windows Explorer), which the other methods of restoring Photos Viewer do not allow one to do. Is this correct?
