They only get carried along so long as you are using a technique that follows the 'Keep my apps and files' method of updating/upgrading. Those programs have been deprecated at a minimum and most have been replaced. It is utterly unsurprising that Windows Photo Viewer, like a huge number of application programs from 'Windows Past,' does not come with a clean install of Windows 10. All the new Windows 10 apps slow, bloated, and pull all of your private information and sends it to Microsoft. This is why Windows 8.x and 10 IS NOT run in large businesses, anywhere in North America. From a usability perspective, Microsoft does not get it. Everyone is pulling all of your useless apps off of their systems and going back to the classic views.

I am using my PC for business and if the Candy Chusher app self-installs on my PC one more time, I will completly remove Windows 10 from my PC. Must be one of those Linux Freaks! lol, just kidding.Įvolutionary? Are you for real? Put down the crack pipe and recognize that you are producing complete junk. Hope it's not against the rules to post a quote from the Technet site you linked, I thought it was quite funny. Seniors like these old familiar programs, as do I in this case. Mostly need Windows Photo Viewer for Customers. I don't Photo Edit enough, and should, so that I could create some Tutorials etc. I was using ShareX recommended by folks here for simple editing, but it wasn't simple enough for me. Thanks Brian, I've always wanted to try Irfanview as it is well know to be very good, I just don't do to much with Photo's, and certainly not editing. I could have sworn it was included in the Disk Image I created from an iso, but then months later created another Install Media on a USB with the Media Creation Tool, and this one definitely does not contain it. So I will need to pay close attention now as to when it is included or not. I had WPV when I did the Standing Upgrade, but then did a Clean Install because I had a new SSD that I wanted to be Cleanly installed, and WPV was gone on the Clean Install. So they have been Upgraded, as in a Standing Upgrade, and not a Clean Install? Have you given any thought to a non-Microsoft photo viewer/editor? I ask because both FastStone Image Viewer (my choice) and Irfanview (available in 64 bit and 32 bit versions) are both excellent alternatives that extend into photo editing if/when one wants it but work swimmingly as pure viewers with the ability to move from photo to photo in a folder within them. I have Windows Photo Viewer under Windows 10 but, the machines on which this is the case have all been upgraded either from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
