Windows 10: Previous version of MS Photo Editor?

How do I return my computer to the previous version of MS Photo Editor? Note: Restore point is not availableAlso, I'm not seeking Photo Legacy or Viewer, but rather the MS Photo Editor that was available up to 8/31/2023. Not the new version that has the Markup and Retouch feature, rather the Editor version before that. Thanks

I understand you are facing issues with Photo editor application, if you are using the Photo editor app which is downloaded from Microsoft Store, I suggest you to refer the following article and try few troubleshooting
steps to fix issues with Photo editor
and check if that helps.

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

Photo Editor and check if that helps.

Reply back with the information, to help you further.

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.
