Windows 10: Windows classic picture viewer runs too slow

Well,I use the classic Windows picture viewer because I consider it better than the new Windows 10 new Photos app, but lately I have had a problem with it.

Before, when I clicked in opening a picture, it opened immediately, but now when I click to open a picture with the classic picture viewer, it takes around 5-10 minutes to be opened, how do I fix that?

I searched for that problem on internet, but I didn’t find any solution, that’s what I’m asking here

Windows picture and fax viewer slow?

I noticed that my windows picture and fax viewer is sluggishly slow when attempting to view pictures compared to my old computer. After some googling, someone had mentioned that he had to run the windows desktop cleanup tool. Unfortunately for me, I removed that in a custom windows install as I thought I would never need it. I was hoping that someone knew another possible solution to make the picture viewer run at normal speed, or a way to reinstall desktop cleanup wizard.

 

Windows picture and fax viewer slow?

I had the same problem...

Found this on another site:

"AMAZING RESULTS!!!
turns out i found out what was causing the slow down. On my desktop I had two links to exe files for games i had uninstalled. so they were dead links. As soon as these were gone, the picture opened up instantly. Ok, so what was slowing down the picture in the other folder? .... turns out i had a link to a network folder that was no longer active. remove this and every picture in that folder opens up instantly.

Conclusion:
When opening up a picture using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, if there exists within that same directory a dead LNK file, this will cause some slow down with the application.

Why this occurs? Perhaps when loading the application, it first scans the directory to make a note of the available pictures for like a slide show purpose. When encountering a dead link, the program hangs for a period of time.

Give it a try, I bet this isnt just a localized case."

 

Picture viewer question.

Hey guys.

I want to know if there is a picture viewer that you can scroll around the picture at its original size with the arrow keys because the Windows 7 photo viewer sucks. *Frown

In MS Paint you can scroll around the pictures at the original size, but you can't go to the next pic in the folder.

Does anyone know a good picture viewer that can do the above stuff. Thanks. *Toast :toast:
