Gifs not looping after recent update?

Hi Raoul,

Conflicts with the program settings after the update is one of the possible reasons why the GIF files are not looping. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the Windows key, type winver, and press the Enter key.
• What program are you using to open the GIF files?
• What is the KB number of the update installed prior to the issue?

Meanwhile, if you're using the Photos App to open the GIF files, you can try to run the

Windows App troubleshooter and check if it helps.

We'll be looking forward to your reply.

 

slow decoding of GIF images

Hello again, Adi,

Thank you for performing the troubleshooting steps. I have done research on this and animated GIF support is still fairly new and also somewhat demanding on phones.

You said this was tested on imgur.com, but are there any other websites you are able to load GIFs from and have them work fine? It may be issues with that one website and it is worth a shot to try out others if you do have the time.

Animated GIFs are fully supported, but they do require resources that some phones may not be able to handle while multi-tasking. I tried out a GIF, an animated one, on a DELL Venue Pro. It skipped occasionally and was a small GIF. It did not, however,
come to an empty page.

If you search
GIF on the suggestions page for Windows Phone 7, many results come up. I recommending adding your votes to the list, even to just improve GIF support.

Best regards,

Title sais it, just updated windows a day back or so and after that gifs aren't looping anymore when I open them. Does anyone know if there's something in the settings I can change since I prefer it to loop by default. Thanks.
