I've discovered something that's not a direct fix for this issue, but rather, it's another option.
Instead of using Windows Photo Viewer, you can use Windows Photo Gallery. The UI is almost exactly the same as Windows Photo Viewer, and you don't have to mess with the registry for it to be the default picture opener in Windows 10.
Microsoft has Windows Photo Gallery included in the Live Essentials download here: Windows Essentials - Download Windows Live Essentials
Windows Photo Gallery is much better than the Photos "app", and it works just as great as Windows Photo Viewer.
Works for me too, was using it last night, but prefer PS8 elements as my default viewer/worker.
I just wanted to say this this fix has ruined my computer. As soon as I applied it, I was able to finally use Windows Photo Viewer, but then I noticed that my CPU was running at 95%. I rebooted because it simply became unresponsive, and now it does not boot into Windows anymore. All I see is a black screen with the mouse pointer, nothing else.
