Pumped to share another Windows 11 first look with you - the beautifully redesigned Photos App is coming soon to Windows Insiders
First look at the new redesigned Photos app in Windows 11
- Thread starter Brink
- Start date
For a quick view, I still prefer the built in Windows Photo Viewer. It's still there in W11, and can be enabled just as it could in W10.

I would assume that this would only be offered to those still on the Dev program as it was stated some time ago that the new App versions would not be available to those in the Beta program until RTM or later

I just checked in the store, and the update seems to be live for me - Not gonna lie, this is 1000% better than the old Photos app. Upon opening it asked me to sign in to OneDrive (I skipped that for now) and then immediately presented me with a gallery of images I've recently used, like those I've posted in various threads here at 11F, and it was *super fast* at loading not only the gallery, but scrolling through it, displaying an individual image.....
I really think this one has the potential to be every bit as good as the old Photo Viewer, and may even rival my normal go to for viewing, IrfanView.

I went to that link today and it is erroring out if you try to download the MSIX package. It's why I decided to check directly in the Store.

Is it possible to disable a new "Filmstrip" (!) and "Toolbar" on Photos App start?! Those are just distraction bar (on Photos App start) and slow down app loading.
I don't know why Microsoft do everything to implement their mandatory updates even if users prevent it from GP (Group Policy) or Registry! I did block "Windows Store" apps auto update and set the connection as metered but they do "Photos.DLC.MediaEngine" update for Photos App!!! It's about 90 MB and has nothing to do with offline photos (local storage) just needed for "OneDrive", I don't have installed it (OneDrive) and have disabled any connection between Store Apps and OneDrive in GP. After uninstall this addon it would be downloaded again and decrease Photos App loading speed...
I don't know why Microsoft do everything to implement their mandatory updates even if users prevent it from GP (Group Policy) or Registry! I did block "Windows Store" apps auto update and set the connection as metered but they do "Photos.DLC.MediaEngine" update for Photos App!!! It's about 90 MB and has nothing to do with offline photos (local storage) just needed for "OneDrive", I don't have installed it (OneDrive) and have disabled any connection between Store Apps and OneDrive in GP. After uninstall this addon it would be downloaded again and decrease Photos App loading speed...

Typical MS behavior. Trying to push users to their crapware (sorry for being a little harsh here, but it also bugs me off).
For me, I have simply uninstalled all bloatware from W11 (PhotoViewer, Zune, MediaPlayer, Bing Weather, Widgets, ...) via a Powershell Script, so what's not there can't be updated

I am trying to get used to them (bloatware like MS Paint, Edge Chromium and Notepad), because I don't want to install another extra (third-party) bloatware on Windows! I didn't like Photos app at all before the version v2021.21070.22007.0 (!). They released it with no "Filmstrip" and was super fast on loading and photo browsing, then I switched from third-party photo viewer to Windows native photo viewer (I think it was wrong decision).
I think it should have an option that users can select it as a "simple photo viewer" or a "photo manager" (like ACDSee, it is super fast on load and photo browsing in "viewer mode" and it is less lite in "photo manage mode"), or like MS Paint (classic one, not Win 11 preinstalled version with its ridicules UI, that's rubbish, Microsoft is just trying to play with colors).
IMO a perfect OS should have perfect apps then users don't have to pay extra money for extra apps (or bloatware!).

Perfect app? LOL.. that doesn't exist. If you want a tool like Photoshop you have to pay for it.. nothing good is free.I am trying to get used to them (bloatware like MS Paint, Edge Chromium and Notepad), because I don't want to install another extra (third-party) bloatware on Windows!

FastStone Image Viewer is much like the old (good) ACDSee versions. You have to change a few settings to make it like you want, but for me it completely replaced ACDSee. It has Redeye removal, good cropping, batch convert and rename, plus a lot more. The only thing I would want added is a paint function. It is Freeware too.I almost never look upon MS photo apps. Just familiar with Adobe PS and an old ACDSee. But will do it some time.
