Description
Are you tired of the new Microsoft Photos app in Windows 10? Do you miss the classic Windows Photo Viewer that was present in previous versions of Windows? Look no further than Restore Windows Photo Viewer, a free software that brings back the beloved photo viewer to your computer.
Although the classic Windows Photo Viewer has not been completely removed from Windows 10, it is hidden and does not appear in Default Programs or Default apps in Settings when performing a clean install or upgrading from a previous version of Windows. This can be frustrating for users who prefer the simplicity and familiarity of the old photo viewer.
Restore Windows Photo Viewer solves this problem by restoring the missing photo viewer to your computer. With support for JPEG, JPG, JPE, JFIF format; BMP, DIB, ICO format; PNG, TIFF, TIF; GIF, WDP and JXR formats - this software ensures that all your photos are viewable with ease.
One of its key features is its ability to apply changes to either current user or all users on a computer. This means that if multiple people use one computer and prefer different photo viewers - they can each have their own preference without any hassle.
Another great feature is its ability to set Windows Photo Viewer as default photo viewer. This means that whenever you open an image file on your computer - it will automatically open with Restore Window's Photo Viewer instead of Microsoft Photos app. However if at any time you want to revert back to using Microsoft Photos app - it's just as easy as clicking a button!
Overall Restore Window's Photo Viewer is an excellent choice for anyone who misses the classic photo viewer on their windows 10 machine. It's easy-to-use interface coupled with its wide range of supported formats makes viewing images simple and enjoyable again!
