Question Opening my pics I get a black screen windows 10

[Zippy77777]

Hi guys.

Can anyone tell me why when I open my pics/screenshots (this is not all the time but randon) they open as a black screen and then do nothing.

I close them down and try again and the machine hesistates for about 10 seconds and then opens them.

I just cannot work out what the issue might be?

Thank you

Try irfanview instead and see if it repeats.

OK, so is there a problem with windows 10 Photo all of a sudden?

Windows 10 standard photo viewer is crap, I switched back to the old photo viewer which is pretty much instant at opening photos.

How to Make Windows Photo Viewer Your Default Image Viewer on Windows 10

Windows 10 uses the new Photos app as your default image viewer, but many people still prefer the old Windows Photo Viewer. You can get Photo Viewer back in Windows 10, though. It’s just hidden.
