  1. Windows 10 Photos Search


    When you open an image in Windows 10, it appears to open the image in "photos". In photos, there is a setting at the top margin that has the option to "search this image on bing". This allows a user to look up images with the bing search engine. By default, Windows will ask you if you want to give the app permission to do this. I gave it permission a long time ago just so I could try the feature out. Now, however, I have accidentally clicked on this feature a few times, and have ended up searching things on bing on accident. I am concerned about this. I don't want to accidentally search an image of my 9 year old, and then have to worry about whether or not BING is keeping that image somewhere.


    How do I turn off this feature , or disable the permission so that there is no way to accidentally search an image on Bing image search?

    :)

  2. Photo options and search engine in Windows 10

    Hi Ruth,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    When you say skip movies, music and games, what exactly do you mean by that?

    I would suggest you to use Photo app in Windows 10 so that all the photos will be listed in one place.

    For reference Photos app for Windows help:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/photos-app-faq

    Note : Steps applies to Windows 10 as well.

    You can use any search engine you desire. Bing comes as default search engine in Windows 10. If you prefer some other search engine then you can use that search engine.

    Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

    Thank You.

    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 Windows 10 Photos Search :) 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.

    I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

    • Go to settings and system.

    Method 2:

    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
