Windows Photo Viewer works fine for me after a clean install.

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that. I've tested this in multiple machines and VMs and all produce the same result. Are you sure you didn't just upgrade from an earlier beta build?

OK, I seemed to have missed that part of your thread.

Anyway that's rather odd as that it only affects a clean install. That makes it seem as though Windows Photo Viewer isn't installed being you can't select it as a default viewer. I assume it is installed with the OS on a clean install though? Very odd.

The thing is, it IS installed. The only problem is that to activate it, you have to go through a pretty nasty registry tweak.

Photo Viewer works for me? Clean install of 10 Enterprise. What's the bug?

Try using W10 Home or Pro

Interesting but I don't have that issue. I did an upgrade and it works.. odd.

Because you did an upgrade, Bunny. We discussed this in my thread.

Seems like clean installs produced far more problems than simply upgrading. I upgraded and have had no issues.

It's there, set as default, and works for me. This is 10 Enterprise though. I just powered up my other PC that I did a clean install of 10 Pro on. Once it boots up I'll remote desktop in and have a look see.

It works in W10 Enterprise probably because Microsoft knows businesses don't want to mess with these silly "apps"... :)
