Windows 10: Windows 10 - Photos Legacy - Won't Open Images

Hello! Hoping someone can help.I am running Windows 10, Home, 64-bit on a PC which is currently up to date. A few months back, because I was having issues with the newer Microsoft "Photos" program, I uninstalled it and installed Microsoft's "Photo Legacy" however I'm having problems with this opening images, too jpg, gif, png. I have already reset it under the Settings area and it didn't help I went into Apps & Features, went to Photo Legacy, clicked on the ellipses ... and chose Advanced, and then reset from there. I thought I'd uninstall and r

The Photos Legacy app is missing image icons

I installed the Photos Legacy app from the Microsoft Store. I then changed the default image viewer from Photos to Photos Legacy. I immediately noticed that there are no icons for any image files (such as jpg, gif, png files). In other words, if I open up windows explorer and browse to a folder that contains image files, and assuming that the folder's viewing mode is set to either "details" or "list", there should be a little icon next to each image file. The icon is supposed to be a white rectangle with blue mountains on it. But instead, all I see is a white rectangle. Note: I'm not referring to thumbnail previews. They still show up fine.

If I change the default image viewer back to Photos, the icons reappear.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
