  1. Photo Management Recommendation ?


    I have a neighbor who is in her 80s and just received a new-to-her machine. I've done some upgrades (SSD, RAM, etc) to it and have copied her photos, email, etc. Trying to make things as seamless from her old Win7 machine to this one.

    Her photos were scattered all over the place in various locations, and I've loaded them in to her Pictures folder. However, the Photos app is dreadful and doesn't scan subdirectories, and wants to move all of her (folder organized by date and event) photos in to one folder.

    Main Question: What should I have her use as a photo app that will be simple enough to view the photos, but not as terrible as the Windows Photos app? What do you use for photos in Windows?

    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 Photo Management Recommendation ? :) 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.

    Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
