    Windows Photo Viewer is insanely slow


    So ever since I got windows 10 the Windows Photo Viewer is insanely slow in opening images. Takes literally like 3-4 seconds til it opens when on Windows7 it used to be instant.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    :)

    Windows 10 Photo Viewer - SLOW - SLOW - SLOW

    My Windows 10 (and Windows Photo Viewer) was running fine for the past 10 months until the late Sept 2016 updates. Then "poof" - welcome to SLOW, SLOW Photo Viewer. Thanks Windows 10 update. Several people have suggested fixes in the registry under:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer\Viewer

    or

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\ Photo Viewer\Viewer

    The problem is that I have NO folder named "Windows Photo Viewer" or "Windows Live" or their sub-folders. So I have to assume that the Windows 10 update wiped them out.

    So I can tinker with the registry (risky) or find another default photo viewer. Or maybe it is time to become an Apple user.

    Offensively slow Win Photo Viewer

    My new laptop with with Win 10 has very slow Windows Photo Viewer, way slow to process when editing, too. I bought my laptop 5 days ago. At least 8 seconds waiting to open a picture in Windows Photo Viewer. Can you do something or at least say
    something, eh, Microsoft?
