Windows 10: Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10
-
Hello jjolly, and welcome to Ten Forums. 
Just to note, its name is "Windows Photo Viewer".
Did you try step 2 in Option Two?

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but: Is the download to install Windows Photo Viewer from this site (above) safe? Silly question really because someone could always say yes, of course it is, when it isn't. I absolutely love my computer but the Windows 10 Photo app is so clumsy and busy (terrible, actually) compared to the beloved Windows Photo Viewer, that I want back. That being said, not at the risk of downloading a virus. On another site, I saw the script written out that merges with the registry (and referenced this site to find the script). How am I able to tell that there is no embedded virus? Thank you so much. C

Hello Coaster, and welcome to Ten Forums. 
Yes, anything I post is always 100% safe and tested.
You can right click on the downloaded .reg file and click on "Edit" to see its content.

Thanks! Works great, I really dislike Photos (and it doesn't work properly), so back neat and slim Photo Viewer.

I noticed a few builds ago (maybe 10162) that you could no longer set Windows Photo Viewer as the default picture opener. Now, it seems that MS is forcing you to use the Photos "app" instead.
Is anyone else getting this issue?
Cough. Hi there fellow forumers. I need your help. I've already know this problem of mine is a rather common problem among Windows 10 users. When I wish to open a picture with our good old Windows Photo Viewer, simply nothing happens or even if...

I really liked the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7... The photo viewer built into Windows 10 is terrible.
Anyone know any good replacements? Something light weight.
Greetings.
When watching photos in Windows Photo Viewer all colors are added a "yellow" look. How do I change that so it looks normal?
If I resize the window so there are borders, they are yellow allso! Look at attached eksample.
