Well, to be able to view all your animated gifs, I suggest you set the default for opening them to Internet Explorer.
Right-click on a .gif file. Select 'Open with > Choose another app'. tick the 'always use this app to open .gif files' box, select Internet Explorer from the list, then click OK.
Yes my machine is 64bit. I hope someone will post something that will run a gif as they were meant instead of the stupid Open Any File option that blows them up and makes them fuzzy.
I just opened IE and that does animate the gif's. Thanks for the tip!
It really is not solved in that there is the work-around: Set the default for opening them to Internet Explorer.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are doing but the default W10 Photo App always opens gif's correctly for me.
From what I understood, the OP was using Windows Photo Viewer. From what I know, that never did and was never supposed to play gifs.
I would suggest moving onto something like nomacs | Image Lounge (yes, it does play gifs nicely) before Microsoft removes or cripples its older products (Windows Photo Viewer) even more.
That's good
You marked it 'resolved' a little earlier which is all you can do :)
