Just purchased your copy of the OS and are trying to figure out how to install it? Here's how to find your Windows 10 product key and how to activate Windows 10 to get you started.
So, if you’re wondering how to restore and use Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10, you can rest easy as we’re here to help. I have 3 PCs in my house and all have the same issue.
It only takes just a handful of steps to bring it back into your stable of go-to apps. It's as easy as knowing how to play DVDs in Windows 10, and you don't even need to know how to start Windows 10 in Safe Mode. That app is still there, hiding in the shadows of the OS. Luckily, if you’re not happy with the new Microsoft Photos, you don’t have to turn to third-party developers to find an experience similar to the old Photo Viewer. Any Windows 10 App (be it News, Weather, Groove Music, Money) stopped showing my profile picture and now only show a placeholder.
Not to mention, Photos is not the most reliable of apps, either. I have 3 PCs in my house and all have the same issue. And, yes, Photos’ cross-platform abilities are very forward-looking as well as convenient for anyone also using a Windows tablet, but the app uses up a lot more memory than its predecessor, and in many ways is just not as easy to use as the older app. Though Windows Photo Viewer was the default photo app on Windows 7 and 8, Microsoft replaced it with its Universal Windows Platform app simply called Microsoft Photos.
