  1. Photos app no longer has the favourites feature?


    Hi allI've just moved to using a new PC with a fresh windows 10 install. On my previous windows 10 PC the photos app had a heart shaped button at the top of each photo in order to add them to a favourties album but this is not present on my new PC. Was the feature removed or have I missed something?Additionally if anyone knows of a quick way to make an album from a folder full of photos i'd be in your debt.Thanks

    :)

    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 Photos app no longer has the favourites feature? :) 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.

    Method 2:
