    Windows Photo Viewer - wrong colors?


    Greetings.
    When watching photos in Windows Photo Viewer all colors are added a "yellow" look. How do I change that so it looks normal?

    If I resize the window so there are borders, they are yellow allso! Look at attached eksample.

    After installing the November update to Windows 10, Photo Viewer no longer works.

    As I was testing functions about a successful November (3gb) update to Win10, Windows Photo Viewer would not open pictures. The error message said that it could not find "C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Gallery\Photo Viewer.dll" It was my default viewer.

    First I searched Answers with no help. Then I started testing all the photo viewers on my machine. (All my picture files are jpg.) I right-clicked on pictures, selected Open With and was given a choice of Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Paint, Photo,
    Windows Live Photo Gallery, and Windows Photo Viewer. I proceeded to use each of these in turn to see what would be a good alternative if I could not get Photo Viewer to work.

    I repeated the tests with several different pictures. After about three hours, the Open With option Photo Viewer disappeared.

    His something wrong with my software, or has Microsoft deliberately disabled Windows Photo Viewer to force the use of the Photo app?

  3. Windows Live mail does not allow me to open photos in emails received

    I went back to Windows Live gallery to open photos and it works, some thing is wrong with Microsoft office picture manager or Windows photo viewer. Thanks for your suggestions.

    If you have a Catalyst Control Center, you may be able to adjust it there.

    I don't as I have an Nvidia card, but it is only this one program that does that "yellowing" thing!

    I just checked mine. It shows a little yellowish too. But I usually use the FastStone Image Viewer. That's a LOT better viewer.

    Windows Photo Viewer - wrong colors?

    You are welcome. Try to explore it a bit. It has a LOT of features and functions.

    I set my file type associations for .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .bmp to FastStone. Then the pics show up in it on a double click. The settings are done here: Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations
