Windows 10: Periodic slowness on Windows 10 - Weird issue with the photo viewer.

Hey everyone,

Windows 10 PC, 32GB of memory, i5-6600k. Seemingly at random, I encounter significant slowness. Screen stops updating, keyboard input pauses. After a few seconds it catches up, every button I pressed goes through, and the screen updates.

I can't see anything running in the background that could be causing this. It's happening both when I play games and when I'm working, which basically just involves emails and PowerPoint.

Turns out, it's my wallpaper slideshow. Whenever the screen changes, the slowdown happens. The native photo viewer works about 30% of the time. Other times it hangs and doesn't open at all. Is this a known issue? How do I go about fixing a native program?

Windows 10 Photo Viewer - SLOW - SLOW - SLOW

My Windows 10 (and Windows Photo Viewer) was running fine for the past 10 months until the late Sept 2016 updates. Then "poof" - welcome to SLOW, SLOW Photo Viewer. Thanks Windows 10 update. Several people have suggested fixes in the registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer\Viewer

or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\ Photo Viewer\Viewer

The problem is that I have NO folder named "Windows Photo Viewer" or "Windows Live" or their sub-folders. So I have to assume that the Windows 10 update wiped them out.

So I can tinker with the registry (risky) or find another default photo viewer. Or maybe it is time to become an Apple user.

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.
