We've seen some workarounds before but they require firing up the HEX editor to modify system files, and you are still limited to 256-color background images in a handful of specific sizes. You can choose from a couple color schemes and 10 stock background images, but that's about it. But beyond not offering a way to bypass this screen (not without the help of third-party utilities), surprisingly Microsoft is also limiting your options when it comes to customizing the Start screen's appearance.
Acknowledged by some as a bold step into the tablet market, and criticized by many others who prefer the familiar desktop experience, the new 'Modern UI Style' home is here to stay. So, if you’re wondering how to restore and use Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10, you can rest easy as we’re here to help.Windows 8’s new Start screen has been hotly debated since the operating system launched in preview mode earlier this year.
It only takes just a handful of steps to bring it back into your stable of go-to apps. It's as easy as knowing how to play DVDs in Windows 10, and you don't even need to know how to start Windows 10 in Safe Mode. That app is still there, hiding in the shadows of the OS. Luckily, if you’re not happy with the new Microsoft Photos, you don’t have to turn to third-party developers to find an experience similar to the old Photo Viewer.
Not to mention, Photos is not the most reliable of apps, either. And, yes, Photos’ cross-platform abilities are very forward-looking as well as convenient for anyone also using a Windows tablet, but the app uses up a lot more memory than its predecessor, and in many ways is just not as easy to use as the older app. Though Windows Photo Viewer was the default photo app on Windows 7 and 8, Microsoft replaced it with its Universal Windows Platform app simply called Microsoft Photos.
