Hi Robert,

You need to modify your Registry in multiple locations, then set it as your default viewer.

Attached is a file: WPV.reg

• Download the file
• Scan with your antivirus/malware software
• When satisfied its safe, right-click and select Merge
• A series of alerts will appear, click Yes or OK when prompted
• Now in search/Cortana field, type Default app settings and press Enter key
• Locate Photo Viewer then click Choose a default and select Windows Photo Viewer

Done!

Personally I feel Windows 10 Photos app is better and in time you may come to agree.

If you do then download the second attached file: RemoveWPV.reg

Scan with your antivirus/malware software and when satisfied it is safe right-click and select Merge

When prompted click Yes or OK

Then return to Default app settings and select Photos instead for your Photo viewer​

Why you need this Old Windows Photo Viewer, check the latest KrojamSoft PhotoViewerPro which can provide you many options. Currently, I am using it.

My favorites are the Faststone products which I use frequently : www.faststone.org
Mostly I am using the capture and the resizer...

do not forget Irfanview www.irfanview.com
