    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 Profile picture not appearing in the Settings app :) 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.

  3. Profile picture

    Hi Stanislav,

    To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

    1. When you go to settings > Accounts, does all the three pictures appear as the screenshot above?

    2. Are those pictures previously used account pictures?

    I suggest you to try deleting the old account pictures by following the steps below and check again.

    1. Press Windows key + R to open the run command.

    2. Copy and paste the following command and press enter:

    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures

    3. If the old account pictures are listed, delete it and restart the computer

    Let us know the result, we will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
