    Windows Photo App No Longer Displays File Name in Viewer


    Today, with no update or settings change, my photo app no longer displays the file name at the top of the photo viewer. Instead there are several tools/icons in that place. Yesterday the viewer displayed the file name, minimize, full, and close icons.It does display if I stretch the viewer out to fill the screen, but for my workflow I need to shrink the viewer smaller.How do I display the file name of the image being viewed? I don't need the tools in 'photo' app.in the attached image, the file name used to be where the . . . is now located, at the top left

    :)

    How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?

    Windows Photo App No Longer Displays File Name in Viewer [​IMG]


    I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

    Unable to replace Photos app with Photo Viewer as default (10240).


    Right there in my first bullet point: "Windows Photo Viewer is never listed as an option when using "Open with".


    That would work if Windows Photo Viewer were in the list but it is not.

    For everyone's convenience, here's what I wrote on answers.microsoft.com:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...2-83ece717ddfb

    1. If I right-click a photo and choose "Open with", Windows Photo Viewer is *not listed* (only Paint and Photos).
    2. I select "Choose another app" followed by "More apps" it is still *not listed*.
    3. If I continue and select "Look for another app on this PC", I can navigate to "C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer". However it contains only one program called "ImagingDevices" and it is *not* an image viewer.
    4. If I display "All files" instead of just "Programs" I can see "PhotoViewer.dll". However, selecting this item results in an error message indicating it cannot be used for displaying photos.

    Replacement for photo viewer

    I just use the Photos app for a quick view, otherwise I use Adobe Lightroom to view and edit photos.
