Windows 10: Windows Photo Viewer stuck on "Loading"

Hello,


Recently, I opened an image using Windows Photo Viewer my preferred choice and all it did was show me, "Loading," as shown in the image. Opening a slideshow does show the picture though. I have tried to search the web for a solution to no avail. Would love any help.


I did come across a similar issue here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-loading/499e1338-adb8-48af-b77d-7a0ffd40befa. However, Method 1 suggested there did not work for me, and I could not even find the options to try Method 2.

Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10  


I used your beautiful tutorial to find and import Windows Photo Viewer, and it shows up when I list the apps, but it isn't available to use. Any further suggestions?

What I really want is to load Windows Live photo Gallery which is what I used in Win7, but I can't even find it at Microsoft's site.

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.

 

Suggest a simple photo viewer

Please suggest a simple photo viewer for the elderly.

Nothing complicated like XnView, just browsing photos, preferably by date.

The default Windows Photo viewer is great, but it circles for weeks and hardly loads anything new.
