    I've tried the activation of WINDOWS VIEWER as default, without success. The starting point, in my case, is a clean WINDOWS 10 installation. Even thought I've been following the instructions (look at Edwin code), updating Registry sucessfully, the WINDOWS VIEWER doesn't appears like an option to be selelected as default under configuration menus.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks in advance.

    No, it is not part of the Windows Essentials which includes Windows Photo Gallery. It is not the same program.

    Windows Photo Viewer is part of Windows 7 operating system. It was taken off in Windows 10.
    The link you have will restore it onto Windows 10.
    It works as I have tried it myself.

    I am not able to put the reg file into my system.

    Hmm, I didn't do that but I just checked and I was able to select WPV from the "Open With" menu.

    Thanks, this is quite a relief. I can't believe MS is forcing people to use their "apps".

    Also, what exactly does your registry fix do?
    Hi, I am not able to put the reg file into my system for some reason. Here is what I did:
    1. Copied entire thing into a notepad file.
    2. Saved that file as WPV.reg into my hard drive.
    3. Tried to double click and install in into my system.
    4. It gave an error saying: "The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files within the registry editor."
    Screenshot of the error is attached below.
    Plz help!!

    Try Right-click the .reg file and choose "Merge" - then it will merge in the Reg. editor, providing the code is right!

    Merge that file, then associate three or four file types with WPV, eg.: png, jpg, bmp, etc:

    Then you should get the option to use WPV as default:

    Thx, it works.
    I got png,jpg,jpeg and bmp associated and the option appeared:)

    Hello!

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but is a bit late and I don't have the time to read carefully all the posts in this thread. I used the registry patch to enable Windows Photo Viewer, but when I try to set it as default for all the files it can open, it just doesn't appear on the list to select it. What can I do? I run Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update. I would like to use the "traditional" Default Applications control, if available, I don't like the modern one that is very limited. How can I access it?

    Thank you in advance.
