    Uninstall Windows Photo Viewer and all its residue.


    Windows Photo Viewer was deprecated when Windows 8 released & hidden by default when Windows 10 released but Microsoft doesn't offer an official way to uninstall/remove the app from the system. Any manual forced removal attempt leaves residue files, be it in File Explorer or in the Registry, & typically corrupts parts of Windows for an unknown reason.If somebody could give me a clean-cut, no silly jargon, answer to uninstall/remove Windows Photo Viewer entirely from my system with minimal residue left behind that would be much appreciated. Microsoft should remove by default or at least

    :)

    Replacement for photo viewer

    Win ver 19041.388

    Just do not like this "new" photo viewer, it is just cumbersome to operate, lot of extra steps etc. I like the older Win photo viewer, however since JPG files are saved as "unhandled Extension handler finder", *Confused I need something else. Appreciate any suggestions that is not overly optioned, just a simple viewer. Tx

    How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?

    Uninstall Windows Photo Viewer and all its residue. [​IMG]


    I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

    Replacement for photo viewer

    I just use the Photos app for a quick view, otherwise I use Adobe Lightroom to view and edit photos.
