如何在 Windows 10/11 中還原 Windows 相簿檢視器

Modifying your Windows Registry involves risk as incorrect modifications can cause your system to malfunction. If you intend to proceed with the steps below, first create a restore point and back up your Windows Registry. This will help you to recover your system if something goes wrong.

2. Copy and paste the following script into the Notepad file. This script activates the Windows Photo Viewer.

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open] "MuiVerb"="@Windowsphotoviewer.dll,-3043" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open\command] @="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\rundll32.exe\" \"%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Photo Viewer\\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\open\DropTarget] "Clsid"="{FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\print\command] @="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\rundll32.exe\" \"%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Photo Viewer\\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_PrintTo %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Windowsphotoviewer.dll\shell\print\DropTarget] "Clsid"="{60fd46de-f830-4894-a628-6fa81bc0190d}"

4. In the Save as dialog, enter ActivateWindowsPhotoViewer.reg as the file name. Click the Save astype drop-down and choose All Files(*.*). Choose a location and Save the file to your drive.
5. Next, open File Explorer, browse to the location where you saved the file, double-click ActivateWindowsPhotoViewer.reg, and then click Yes. When a warning prompt appears, click Yes.
6. After the script is executed, you'll see a success message. Click OK.
7. To apply the changes, press Win + X to open the Windows Powermenu and choose Task Manager.
8. In the Process tab, find and right-click on Windows Explorer, then click Restart. Your screen may flash momentarily as Windows Explorer restarts.

Since Windows Photos Viewer doesn't have its own .EXE file, but only a .DLL, you can't open it from the search bar in Windows. Instead, to open pictures in Photo Viewer, right-click on any image in File Explorer, go to Open With > Choose another app, and then scroll down and select Windows Photo Viewer. Choose Just once to open the image. If you select Always, Windows will set Photo Viewer as the default app for that image format.
