Remember the simple, speedy Windows Photo Viewer? In newer Windows versions, it's often replaced by the Photos app. But fear not, you can bring back this classic!
While not officially supported, the Photo Viewer is still lurking within your system. Restoring it usually involves a registry tweak. You can find reliable guides online that provide the necessary registry files. Simply download and run the file – ensuring it’s from a trustworthy source, of course.
Alternatively, you can manually edit the registry. This requires caution, so back up your registry beforehand! Look for instructions specific to your Windows version.
Once restored, you'll be able to set Windows Photo Viewer as your default image viewer. Just right-click an image, select 'Open with,' choose 'Choose another app,' find 'Windows Photo Viewer,' and check the 'Always use this app' box. Enjoy the familiar interface and quick loading times of your old favorite!
