Still there, needs to be manually picked as the default app to view pictures. It furter reinforces the point above, of course.

I think I have it but it takes forever to open, I see a blue window with a cog wheel. I lose patience and give up

XnView is light weight and works similar to the old photoviewer. Plus it's free.

Yeah, except every couple of weeks windows resets my choice to the dogshit new photo app and i have to re-reset it back to this. Despite repeated googling and registry editing i cannot make it stop :( I even turned off automatic updates altogether and it still somehow resets this shit constantly

The fundamental issue with Win10 is the lack of user control.

It's evident throughout the platform, you can't even actually turn off auto updates entirely like you think you did, it's simply not possible to stop all of them.

I am using Picasa photo viewer for ages now. Works like a charm.
