Photos App

Something like 2% should be OK.  Re adjust if to small.         Really a must have a small drive or too much loaded on C:.      I run 20% on a 1TB drive.

Powershell Commands for Win10 Uninstall some Apps : https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/remove_windows_10_apps_using_powershell.html  So uninstall Paint.

Reset a App : https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/reset_a_windows_store_app_in_windows_10.html

Reinstall results are all from tenforums.com : https://www.google.com/search?q=Powershell+download+windows+10+install+apps++tenforums.com

I've noticed when i resize the screen to full size, it doesn't hold it to full size anymore (if it ever did), unless i actually click on the top right full screen box ??

is reducing the restore point capacity a simple matter of changing it to 5% (for instance)

Open the Window to do so by typing in Start--> Search copy/paste :  Create Restore Point   Click on then Configure and slide the slider. Done 20 secs. and then reboot to take effect.

thanks mate, i've took it down to 5, for now. 

I’ve been looking for a good alternative myself! You might want to try IrfanView or the Windows Photos app if you’re after something simple—both are reliable and open photos easily on a single click.

There is an article on Attaching Files to Posts On BleepingComputer.

Good luck!

thanks, but its too big !

As already said. Do not need a attachment and why is this still not resolved.  Pick one.  Let the topic die a horrible death.

is this any help, what is that app at the bottom ? 

I have no idea what 'that app at the bottom' is but it an do little harm to try it and see !

However you have already been advised to try the best two image viewers around, Irfanview and Fastone. They have different strengths and weaknesses, I can only suggest that you try either or both and see how you get on.

My own preference is for Irfanview but mainly because it made a very tiresome job I used to have to do very easy. On one occasion my wife and I shot some 23,000 images in eight days and then I - note, not my wife - had to decide which of 2 or 3 images was the best and retitle it. Chose the better image, press 's', give it its new title, if necessary change folder, press 'Enter', job done !  Wash, rinse and repeat 11,500 times !

You are welcome, ne5!

However, I did NOT create that tutorial, but a former moderator, britechguy, did it.

There is an article on What is Photos Media Engine Add-on and How to install it on Windows?

Good luck!

LOL..... I think I downloaded it when I was looking for a solution for the photos problem, however i uninstalled it last night, did a scan, no harm seems to have been done.

Thanks to everybody for the advice, if my photos has a bug and can't be fixed, I'll use one of the the new suggestions.
