    Print multiple photos in Windows 10 like the old Photo Viewer app could in old Windows 7 / Vista / XP

    I want to be able to control which photos to print and at what size -- like you used to be able to in the old Photo Viewer in older versions of Windows rather than the new Metro-style Photos app.

    This also has to be in a way that I can explain to a non-technical person over the phone (my Mum).

    Options I have considered but don't really want to do:

    • Hack the registry to bring back Windows Photo Viewer - not suitable for luddites
    • Create a Word document with the photos in and print that - do-able, but not quick, easy, intuitive or repeatable.

    Windows Photo Viewer The old old is not working despite me having it

    How delete new Microsoft Photo Viewer and get back my Win Photo Viewer

    Thanks guys for all the help. I haven't made the update yet but I am sure your suggestions will do the job.

    Like everyone else I HATE IT WHEN MS PULL THIS S@#$.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I also found this. It worked great:

    It's easy to get the trusty old Windows Photo Viewer back -- simply open up Settings and go to System > Default apps. Under "Photo viewer," you should see your current default photo viewer (probably the new Photos app). Click this to see a list of options for a new default photo viewer.
    Choose Windows Photo Viewer and exit the Settings menu, and you're done -- photos will now open up in Windows Photo Viewer.
