Windows 10: Windows 11’s Photos app comes to Windows 10, but some users are not happy

Windows 11 and beyond is the future, but that doesn’t mean the tech giant has stopped working on new features for Windows 10. The old operating system continues to live and has been getting some love from the tech giant. Microsoft is keen to bring new Windows 11 features to Windows 10, and the Photos app is the latest edition.

Now available for everyone, a new update replaces the legacy Photos app with the new version that originally debuted on Windows 11. This new Photos app offers many features, including new ways to edit your photos. A new filmstrip function lets you discover all photos and videos in one window.

Another noticeable change is multi-view, a highly touted feature in the Photos app. As the name suggests, multi-view is a new way to compare photos or videos. The pictures or videos open in the same window, but it lets you compare the content side by side.



The new Photos app sounds like a decent update and is better than the previous version, but some may prefer the old Windows 10-era Photos app.

In Feedback Hub or Microsoft Answers Forum posts, users argued that “Clarity” and “Spot Fix” should be returned to the new Photos app.

One user highlighted the new Photos app is missing the “clarity” slider. Some found the old Photos app’s “clarity” similar to functionalities in renowned software like Photoshop.

Several others also shared how much they relied on the “Clarity” feature. One person explained that they always used it to make unclear photos of numbers look sharp and easy to read. Another user mentioned that they don’t need fancy photo effects, they want their photos to look clear.

To sum it up, while Microsoft might have thought they were improving the Photos app, many users feel differently and want the features from the old version back.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

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
