Insider Photos app begins previewing Windows App SDK version to Canary and Dev on Windows 11

 Windows Blogs:

We are beginning to roll out a preview version of the Photos app built with the Windows App SDK (WASDK) to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11. This change moves Photos to the latest Windows app development platform, with modern UI and other quality and performance improvements.

All the current Photos app features and functionality is still present in this version. However, given the extensive changes, this version may be a little rough around the edges as we continue to polish the experience. To get this experience, Windows Insiders on Windows 11 in the Canary and Dev channels can update the Photos app to version number 2024.11040.1002.0.

We appreciate your comments and suggestions, so please share your feedback with us!

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Apps > Photos.

Thanks,
Mala Srivatsa, Senior Product Manager – Windows Photos

Microsoft just surprised me by not making me wait. When I checked in the MS Store I was updated to the new Photos app.

Now this version refuses to always open on my second screen, previous version did not have this issue. I can move the app, but then on reopen back to mani screen and also the application size is not remembered. There is also an unnecessary splash screen in this version that never appeared before.
