Windows 10: Windows Photos autorotate RAW portrait images after 3 seconds

Hello MS

I've been using windows for a while and I love some of the default apps, especially the Photos. But about couple days back, I've noticed, that when I import my photos from my camera (Nikon D3100) which were made in portrait mode, the Windows Explorer will show them portrait, which is fine. But then I start to open them in Photos, and it stays in portrait like for 2 seconds and then turn 90 deg. clockwise automatically. It does that only for RAW(NEF) at least that's my observation. And I'm pretty sure, about month ago, this didn't happened. Not sure what settings to change in Photos to stop doing that. Let me know. Photos version "2019.19021.18010.0"


have a great day

:)

 

Microsoft Photo App auto rotating raw image files from portrait to landscape

Since the latest update of the Photo App (2019.19021.18010.0) raw image files which are originally in portrait format are automatically rotated to landscape view and the manual rotation is disabled. This only applies to raw images and not to formats such
as .jpg or .png.

The issue is only present in the view mode of the app while the image appears correctly in the editing mode.

Is there a way of disabling set auto rotation or a work around of stopping the app from doing that?

Photos App auto rotating portrait RAW files

Lately whenever I open a raw file (CR2) in Photos it flips it from portrait to landscape and I can't flip it back. It I try to use the rotate feature, it says this can't be applied to RAW files. I've reset the app, uninstalled it etc and nothing works.

Has anyone seen this?

Windows 10 (1809, build 17763.404)

How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?






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.
