Picture Tools/Slideshow function in File Explorer. Windows Photo Viewer has a capability that you do not get in the new And before I get to it, let me say first that a solution is necessary.

There is a workaround, but it’s not great. I’m hoping by posting it here a second time I will increase the chance that someone at Microsoft will see it and do something about it. I actually posted this same message in response to a different question elsewhere, but Way of describing it, and so you will find different descriptions scattered around the various Microsoft forums, with wildly different official suggestions and so forth. This isn’t the only incidence of this particular question.
#TOUCH SCREEN PHOTO VIEWER SOFTWARE WINDOWS 10#
I notice that many, many people have the same problem - and yes, indeedy, it does seem to be a glitch in Windows 10 that Microsoft needs to be aware of and needs to fix. I tried it before but then I did not reboot my computer after I made the change so I didn't notice any difference Now I set it to 100 % and now all the programs looks good again. Should be an easy fix if they ever get around to it.įor some reason my computer had set it to 125 % which meant everything was weird. Under win8.1 this was not a problem, so my guess is that win10 Windows Photo Viewer has an incorrect scaling setting that is treating photos like text and blowing them up 150% (in my case). Mine was set to 150% to make things easier to read on the surface screen. You can find this option buried in the settings->appearance and personalization->display->make text larger or smaller->set a custom scaling level. Unfortnately this makes all the text on the 11" screen very small, but itĭoes keep photos and images the proper size when using the WPV slideshow.

What fixed it was reducing the "text sizing" option from 150% to 100%.

I have this same problem on my surface pro1 after upgrading to win10.
