Microsoft replaced the classic Photo Viewer app in Windows 10 and 11 with Photos, its modern, feature-rich image viewer. However, if you liked the simplicity of Photo Viewer, here's how you can bring it back in Windows 10 and 11.
You can enable the classic Windows Photo Viewer app using a Windows Registry script. The following Windows Registry script reconfigures and enables the Windows Photo Viewer app.
Modifying your Windows Registry involves risk as incorrect modifications can cause your system to malfunction. If you intend to proceed with the steps below, first create a restore point and back up your Windows Registry. This will help you to recover your system if something goes wrong.
<code class="hljs xml">Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open] "MuiVerb"="@Windowsphotoviewer.dll,-3043" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open\command] @="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\rundll32.exe\" \"%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Photo Viewer\\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open\DropTarget] "Clsid"="{FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\print\command] @="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\rundll32.exe\" \"%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Photo Viewer\\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_PrintTo %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\print\DropTarget] "Clsid"="{60fd46de-f830-4894-a628-6fa81bc0190d}"</code>
Since Windows Photos Viewer doesn't have its own .EXE file, but only a .DLL, you can't open it from the search bar in Windows. Instead, to open pictures in Photo Viewer, right-click on any image in File Explorer, go to Open With > Choose another app, and then scroll down and select Windows Photo Viewer. Choose Just once to open the image. If you select Always, Windows will set Photo Viewer as the default app for that image format.
To disable Windows Photo Viewer, you must undo the changes you made earlier to the Windows Registry. It's worth making a backup again before making the changes. Then:
<code class="hljs css">WindowsRegistryEditorVersion 5.00[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll]</code>
Once done, restart Windows Explorer, and the Photo Viewer app will be disabled.
One Photo Viewer is an excellent Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Photos alternative. It's fast, free, and offers a clean interface by placing all the controls in the context menu, decluttering the toolbar area. Right-click the app interface to view the menu and access all the tools and settings.
One Photo Viewer offers all the bells and whistles you expect of an image viewer, plus more. You can scroll through the images using the arrow keys or the dedicated buttons, zoom in and out, rotate, crop, resize, or adjust colors.
它還支援 RAW 格式,包括 HEIC 和 WEBP 動畫、資料夾或載入影像中的幻燈片、自訂鍵盤快捷鍵以及用於快速增強效果的色彩校正工具。您還可以選擇 3 美元的專業版以獲得兩個附加功能:用於改進功能的工具列和更輕鬆導航的縮圖。
下載:One Photo Viewer(免費,提供進階版本)
也就是說,如果您更喜歡堅持使用本機選項,請再嘗試內建的 Windows 照片應用程式。它並不像您第一次使用時想像的那麼糟糕。
