Hi there, Firstly, apologize if I am posting at the wrong group. Anyway, we have a Windows server 2016 RDS cluster with 3 servers. We have users who have the need to use Windows Photoviewer. ...

Photo viewer was a carry-over to windows 10 for those upgrades from windows 7/8.1 Even on windows 10 its been depreciated. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027135/windows-10-photo-viewer

So it may stand to reason to see unexpected results especially when deploying to windows server.

Dave PatrickThanks for the reply. I think you are right about it. But your link may help with me resolving the issues. I can see Windows 10 comes with the Photos app (not Photoviewer). Windows 2016 doesn't even have it. I need to see if I can extract the package and install the Photos app on a server and see if it will behave differently.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers.

Edmond.
