What is a good FREEWARE image viewer that is FAST to open and not a HOG for memory, and whose installation makes it the default app?
-
I had 4 images opened in the Windows 10 app, and the damn thing was hogging up a GIG oF memory! :mad::mad::mad::mad: There has got to be a better app than this SLOW & HOGGY POS!
The old Photo Viewer from Win7 (8?) is still there, and launches nearly instantaneously. Hitting the left/right cursor keys to quickly cycle through a bunch of image files is also just about as quick as can be. It's not sophisticated, but that's exactly how I want it to be. The URL I have in my notes points here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/14312-restore-windows-photo-viewer-windows-10-a.html [Edit] It's been a while I've looked at that thread, but how it grew to be 56 pages in length, I have no idea (and I'm kinda scared to find out). All I know is that I have a small-ish .reg file that I've been importing into all of my new Win10 installs, and it has always worked without a hitch for me.

Maybe you won't be able to use it in the future[^]

:confused: What does my post about using the registry to set the viewer for image file types have to do with disabling Windows Defender by using the registry?
Maybe they expand their "security" feature to more "windows own products" for your security. They could create a new registry class and block manual changes within the whole directory. Which would affect your procedure Seeing how they act lately... would not surprise me that much. At the end they know what we need better than we self

I recommend faststone image viewer. It is like the swiss knife for images and pretty light weight. faststone image viewer

I use the Image viewer that came with my Linux distro. It's really fast.

Windows Photo Gallery from Windows Live Essentials 2012, it's discontinued and unsupported but works flawlessly in Windows 10, however, you must look for the installer in some "unofficial" sources.

I ended up installing this, and it's been WONDERFUL!
There's one feature missing though. Which I have found here: SimilarImages - Find duplicate images and videos[^]
