With the creation of Windows 10, the company Microsoft intends to give the company a complete facelift. Proof of this is for example the elimination of classic Windows programs such as Movie Maker (replaced by a worse one), Internet Explorer, or in the case at hand, the image viewer. Today we will deal with how we can restore the old image viewer in Windows 10.

While it is true that the new image viewer is similar to the old one, there are many users who miss the latter. So today we are going to recover that old viewer for nostalgics, or simply to see if they are indeed the same or if there are differences.
Restore image viewer in Windows 10 if you have upgraded from a previous Windows
This method can only be used by users who have upgraded to Windows 10 from previous versions of Windows, such as Windows 7.
These users still have the ability to access this classic image viewer relatively easily. We will do the following:
- We go to Start and write "Control Panel" and press Enter or select the main option of the search result. Now we will locate the option "Default programs". We recommend putting the scheme of the control panel to view it through icons
- Next, we will choose the option of "Set default programs"
- If we click on this option, a new window will appear in which a list of programs appears. We should choose "Windows Photo Viewer" near the bottom of the list. Then we choose the option to "Set this program as default"
It only remains to choose the file extensions that we want the program to open and we will have the image viewer in Windows 10 old operating.
Restore image viewer in Windows 10 from a new Windows installation
If our case does not fall within the previous section, the image viewer in old Windows 10 will not be installed by default on our computer. in this case we must activate this through changes in the Windows registry. This must be so because Microsoft removed the necessary registry entries in this operating system in order to run this application. So let's see what we have to do.
- The first thing we must do is create a registry file that installs the necessary registry keys to be able to run the image viewer in old Windows 10. In any folder we right-click and choose "New -> Text document". the name we want for now
Inside it we must paste the following code, as it is written here:

- So we go to "File -> Save As"
- Now we select as “Type: All files” and write the name next to the extension “.reg” in this way:
In this way we will have created a Windows registry file that when executed will add all the information it has to our registry. Before running it, we should at least make a backup copy of the registry.
Quickly visit our Windows 10 registry article to learn how to back it up, and what it means to edit the Windows 10 registry.
- How to open and run REGEDIT Windows 10
In this case, we recommend making a complete copy of the registry, since various registry entries are modified.
- Once this is done, we are going to double-click the file that we have created in order to execute it. To do this, we accept that the file make changes on our computer. A warning will be opened that information will be added to the registry, which may lead to it. Since we have a backup made, we are going to give it a Yes we want.
- After finishing this procedure we will have to make sure that the image viewer in Windows 10 has been installed correctly. To do this we take a photo and right-click on it and choose the "Open with" option. The old image viewer should appear to open it with it.
- There we will have our old image viewer in Windows 10 in all its glory
Make default image viewer
If, in addition, the love we have for you is so great that we want to make it the default application, we will have to do what we explained in the previous section, let us make a summary:
- Let's go to "Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Default Programs" Now we go to the "Photos" section and we unfold the list of applications. We are going to choose "Windows Photo Viewer". Now every time we open a photo, it will be opened with this program automatically
Did you miss this photo viewer? The truth is that while we were doing this tutorial we have decided to leave it activated as default. We are more comfortable with him even today. For any suggestion or write us.
