Photos app and scrolling issue


Hi, should work...does for me. Have you tried uninstalling, reinstalling Photos?

Presumably scrolling works elsewhere.

A couple of other people have reported this issue here- unresolved.

This one suggests an issue with a Logitech mouse:

How to bring back Photo Viewer in Windows 10?

Unfortunately, none of the above answers worked for me, but they pointed me in the right direction.

1. Right-click on an image in Windows Explorer, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
   
2. In the dialog, scroll down and click on More apps, then `Look for another app on this PC.
   
3. Then, at the bottom right, choose All Files (*.*) instead of Programs (*.exe ...), then navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer and choose PhotoViewer.dll.
   
4. Photo Viewer opens. Close it.
   
5. Repeat Step 1: Right-click again on the image, choose Open With, then Choose another app.
   
6. Again scroll down to click on More apps.
   
7. Now Windows Photo Viewer appears in the apps list. Choose it and click on Always use this app to open .png files.
   

Once you did steps 1-4, you don't have to repeat them for other file types. Steps 5-7 should suffice.
