Windows 10: Photo editor from previous version needed

I used the old photo editor daily for my business on the previous version of Windows 10. After the 'upgrade' I just have a featureless picture viewer. It doesn't adjust contrast which is critical. I don't have 5 minutes per picture to wait for Photoshop to load, why was this very handy program ruined? Please let me know if there is a fix for a non-programmer.

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall

Install previous version of photos app?

I had done the same thing. I used that video and it worked until yesterday. I had gotten on chat with MS and they walked me thru shutting off auto updates and it still updated to the Fall Creators update and took away my great old Photos app for good I think.
I immediately did the rollback to a previous build but it kept the new Photos app. I'm extremely disappointed by this. If you find out the steps to revert back please forward them to me.
