In version 4.0.0.10 after removing "Microsoft.Windows.Photos" app, - default Windows Photo Viewer doesn't work. I did not tried on previous builds. (4.0.0.9, 4.0.0.8, 4.0.0.7..)
After clicking on any jpg,bmp,tif file nothing is happens, PhotoViever seems to be installed but maybe there is an associations problem.
- Image Name: Windows 10 Enterprise
- Image Build: 18363.815
- Host Environment: Windows 10 Enterprise 1909
- Parameters Passed: WindowsApps "whitelist"
On WhiteList i left only:
"Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller",
"Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp",
"Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions",
"Microsoft.WindowsStore",
"Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider"
I removed Microsoft.Windows.Photos to get default Windows Photo Viewer.
In the log file: "RegistrySettings.log" there is information that: "Restoring Windows Photo Viewer."
Las time I used script version Optimize-Offline 3.2.7.7 and there I had this message and PhotoViewer did work.
Optimize-Offline.log
PackageSummary.log
RegistrySettings.log
OptimizeErrors.log
I am able to right-click and select the 'Open With..." sub-context menu where it gives me the option of selecting the default Windows Photo Viewer. Do you not have that option?
Thank you for your answer. I have sub-context menu but when I selecting Windows Photo Viewer nothing happens. I tried the newest script version 4.0.1.0 and I still have the problem. Graphics files do not open. (jpg, bmp, png, tif). I can see preview of the files, I can set a desktop background. When I download and run this reg: https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/198320d1533487488-restore-windows-photo-viewer-windows-10-a-restore_windows_photo_viewer_all_users.reg Photo Viewer starts work.
Can confirm that Photo Viewer doesn't works
The registry code has been updated in the latest build which has fixed this issue.
