Windows 10: Windows Photos app cannot zoom in/out the pictures on a USB disk

Hi,Recently I find the Photos app cannot correctly zoom in/out the pictures located in a USB driver disk, the zoom in/out icons on the Photos app are disabled. I've tried several USB drivers, all have such issue.If I copy the same pictures into computer's embedded disk, Photos app works correctly - the picture can be zoomed in/out.Strange thing is, if plug in the same USB driver into another computer, their Photos app also works correctly.Thanks & regards,Henry

Photo/WPV default zoom level


Photo/WPV default zoom level


Hello guys,
I wish I could set the default zoom level of my default photo viewer (I can choose Photo app or Windows Photo Viewer or some third program too).
I want the default program to be able to open/switch within photos at the default photo size (100% zoom of the photo) and not with the default screen size (100% zoom of the screen size).
Any idea how to do that? Maybe some registry key to edit? Any software to suggest?
Thanks for your help, Luca.
