Windows 10: Photos Thumbnail and In-App view rotation not synced.....

Had this problem:


Took a picture rotated on my iphone. Save pic to Windows 10 laptop. Opened picture in MS Office Picture Manger**, rotated the picture to taste, save it. Closed MSOPM, Now picture is rotated wrong in thumbnail. This is incredibly annoying, esepcially if you rotate the thumbnail and it messes up the in-App view again. You are seemingly stuck with different views. Here is the fix:


1. Open the picture in its photo viewer application.

2. Rotate it correctly and save.

3. Go back to file explorer and select thumbnail.

4. rotate the thumbnail to taste.


This shouldnt mess up the rotation in step 1. and you are good to go.


** if you cannot stand the cartoon-y windows 10 photo app, you can install the old Microsoft picture manager from a free microsoft download:


1. download Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 64-bit


Download Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 64-bit from Official Microsoft Download Center


2. run the installer and choose certain components to install - ONLY.


3. Find MSOPM application in the list and check it, and complete the install


Hope this helps some of you!

photos doesn't rotate

Problem: When opening file folder with thumbnail of photo.

1. if file needs rotated, I'm unable to do this using the rotate icon - it does nothing

2. When opening the photo in the preinstalled photo app - it self rotoates, but when attaching to an email it attaches in the same position as the thumbnail.

3. I really preferred the old Windows photo viewing program - it was more user friendly.

 

Thumbnails


It may not be a cache problem. I have the same problem when I am using Microsoft Office 2010 as my default photo viewer.

Before Windows 10, I used Office 2010 as my default photo viewer and I could rotate the thumbnail 90 degrees and the corresponding actual photo would also rotate 90 degrees. This made it easy to straighten up a bunch of photos without having to open each one by one. Now with Windows 10, when I use Office 2010 and rotate the thumbnail, the corresponding photo does not rotate - just the thumbnail. And if I have the photo open and rotate it and then save & close the photo, the corresponding thumbnail will not automatically rotate to match.

Since having the problem, I have tried rotating thumbnails and photos using Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10 and happily it works in the way that Office 2010 used to (i.e. the thumbnails & photos stay locked into the same rotation). Do I have to abandon Office 2010 to keep my thumbnails & photos in sync?

Photo thumbnail picture

Hi

File Explorer>Pictures>Open Pictures.

If Your Photos come up as just a List and don't show up as Thumbnails, look at the Two Small Icons at the Bottom Right of the Screen and 'Toggle' between them.

The first one gives you a List View and the other one gives you a Thumbnail View.

Or you could Click: View at the Top of the Screen and then you Can not only see your Photos as Thumbnails but you can also choose the Size.
