Windows 10: Win10 64bit. Start menu acting weird, as is file explorer and 'Photos' viewer.

For example, when I have a folder full of photos, right click > open with > Photos, the photos instantly start scrolling to the end, like an extremely fast slide-show, as if the right arrow key is being held down. Same in the start menu, the highlight seems to scroll to the right instantly.

But it doesn't seem to be a problem with my keyboard, because when editing text for example, the cursor doesn't move to the right as if the arrow key (or any other keys such as Home, Tab or Page Down) is actually being pressed. Nor does it seem to be a mouse problem.

It doesn't happen in other applications like Web Browsers, Video editing, games, etc.

It seems like it's a problem with Windows Explorer specifically.

Photo viewer/storage and File Explorer vs Edge Menu

Hi Roderick,

Software changes such as Windows Update may revert your device settings to default. As an initial step to reconfigure your settings, we suggest that you try the methods below:

• There are instances wherein the photos need to load for a few minutes before the thumbnails appear. However, if the thumbnail doesn't load and still see the Photo icon, you can follow these steps:
  
  • Type File Explorer Options in the search box and press
    Enter.
  • A dialog box will appear. Under the View tab, ensure that the
    Always show icons, never thumbnails box is not ticked.
  • If ticked, click the box to remove or disable it.
• For the Windows key, click the download button under the
  Enable the Windows key section provided on this support article to install the
  file on how to re-enable the feature to open the Start menu using the
  Windows key.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

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

I think this works, it certainly works with slideshows, so it might work with Photo Viewer:

1. In File Explorer, navigate to folder containing photos that you wish to view.
   
2. In File Explorer, type *.jpg in the search box. You will then see all your jpeg's with the camera raw files absent.
   
3. Click on any file to start photo viewer.

I cannot test it as I dont have photo viewer. But like I say it works on slideshows.
