Windows 10: what happened to photos in windows 11

what happened to photos in windows 11

Photos and images not opening on windows 11

This one works for me but I added this steps:

On Search Bar type %temp% (it will open temporary files) just hit ctrl +A and then delete all

because after following the steps above still didn't work so I did this additional steps and it work!

 

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 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.

 

what happen to windows photo viewer

That's what I was trying to say to you: the file for Windows Photo Viewer is a DLL file and not an EXE file. It needs a specific command to run:

where the last parameter -- %1 -- is the full path to the image file.

Rather than having to use that cumbersome command (from a Command Prompt window), you should be able to get WPV back by right-clicking on an image file and selecting WPV from the list of suggested applications.

What happens if you right-click on an image file (e.g., a *.jpg file) and select "Open with"? Do you see Windows Photo Viewer at the bottom of the list?
