  I had the same problem. Finally, I solved. Here's the trick!

  Goto the control panel select the "view by: large icons,"

  Select the Option "default programs".

  Select "Set your default programs"

  Wait a while...

  Scroll to the bottom of your hand side left of the tab...

  You can find the option "Windows Photo Viewer... Select the icon

  Select the option "Set this program as default"

  Here you go...

  Your 'Windows Photo Viewer' icon will return to its default icon as usual.

  Bravo!

  Take care

• Windows Photo Viewer shows the files blank JPEG thumbnails (inside folders) poster white icon, already tried a lot of Solutions - please help! S.O.S.

  Dear all,

  I have this problem:

  

  All JPEG files are normal, I tried to open with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS5. But if I use it to watch my files, it takes too long to load.

  This is the case if I try to open them using the Windows Photo Viewer:

  

  It's when I try to open it with Adobe Photoshop CS5:

  

  So the file is fine, they are non-empty JPEG.

  The difficulties I've tried before posting on the forum:

  - Fix it with Microsoft to photo viewer

  Fix It for animals works well and could not find any problem though, so nothing is fixed.

  - Removal 'External event AMD' Service

  Nothing change

  - Removal of color for the monitor profiles

  Nothing to change also

  - Updated all the drivers and windows

  Nothing change

  - Boot in Safe Mode

  The thumbnails are displayed correctly and "Windows Photo Viewer" display my images perfectly well BUT...

  - Start in Normal Mode with all the Services of persons with disabilities (except Microsoft)

  The problem happens again, that the thumbnails are blank and the images also.

  - Cleaning disc (with checked "thumbnails")

  The problem still exists

  

  - Set programs "Default" for the Windows Photo Viewer

  The problem still exists

  - Run SFC/scannow From The Command Line

  The problem still exists, and the SFC somehow told me that my Windows is fine

  

  - Removal of hidden miniature manual

  The problem still exists

  - Windows Live Essentials installation and use the 'Photo Gallery'

  Photo Gallery crashes all the time after asking if I want to associate files "JXR" or not, but I'm not on this topic, but this does not solve the problem.

  I tried every step, I have found on various types of forum, but not the last magic: Reinstall Windows, I really want to solve this problem without cleaning Windows installation if possible, and I'm so in love with "Windows Photo Viewer" because it's simple, fast, and it is very precious to me. I tried free viewer and FastStone Image Viewer but is a bit complicated, controls are small and it always comes out in full screen, I need this so baaad.

  My computer is:

  A10-7800 Kaveri AMD processor

  RAM 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 black

  Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Black hard drive

  Motherboard ASRock FM2A88X +.

  Power supply Corsair VS550

  OS: Windows 7 64-bit

  Thanks in advance :) I really want this wrong, please...

  Dear Ramesh,

  I thank very you much for your time to help me, after tumbling around with other solutions, windows finished in "the RPC server is blahblah" thing a bit, then I reinstalled everything from the ground up and the problem disappeared... I don't know what happened to the previous window, I am now using the same drivers, same software, except perhaps the earlier had too many junks (I think this is the classic problem with windows, after sometimes he collected too and begins to act dumb)

  It seems that the problem came, neither windows nor the drivers... But too bad it should remain as an "Unsolved Mystery": P

  Anyway thanks, see again you and Merry Christmas and happy new year to you

• All my icons have been changed in the Windows Photo Viewer

  and everytime I open an icon it says that windows Photo Viewer cannot open it because I don't have the latest version of the photo viewer, I want just my icons back and open them the right program

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• Windows Photo Viewer does not properly after installing Spyder 4 Express

  I installed Spyder 4 Express.    Open photoshop and got message this - original use - incorrect color profile so used original and all the images look OK.   But the photos opened through Explorer files (correct thumbnails), but when I preview with Windows Photo Viewer, the images are all very tinted orange.    I then removed Spyder 4 Express hoping to remove the colour profile info, no luck.   All other photo in other software and wallpaper moniter views are correct.   What should I do to correct the display color in the Windows Photo Viewer.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern on the forum.

  According to the description of the question when you preview with Windows photos Photo Viewer are all very tinted orange. Maybe this is a chance that display drivers are getting corrupted or need to be updated.

  As you are referring to the Windows Photo Viewer, I suggest you to check the Windows Photo Viewer is defined as program default for Open the images. You can follow the steps mentioned below to check that.

  1. Press on the the window key + W.

  2. In Search box type in default programs , and then press enter.

  3. Click on Sand your default program.

  4. Now right-click on the Windows Photo Viewer, and then select set this program as default.

  For more details, you can refer to the following Microsoft article mentioned.

  Choose the apps Windows uses by default

  If the problem persists, try to update the drivers and install Windows updates. Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update automatically, or you can install the drivers updated yourself. It is important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers that you install. Windows warns you if it detects a suspicious or dangerous driver, you should not install.

  Download and install the drivers

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards

• Windows Photo Viewer displays only the gray scale. No color.

  I am running Windows 7.  When I print a document on the web, it prints in color.  If print it by using the default program (Windows Photo Viewer) it prints in grayscale.  Have checked all the settings, but can't seem to find what is causing this problem.  I tried printing from other programs and I don't get color.

  Everybody out there affected by this problem and what did you do to correct the problem.  Thank you.
