No. No such app as “windows photo viewer”. It is not an option, the only option that micro$oft allows any control over is going to their app store. “windows photo viewer” is not there either. Whe m$ forced you to do something, they first give you some feigned perception of control, but eventually, they take it away. They’ve done just that in this instance.
