Using Windows PhotoViewer on server 2016

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.

Emond Lo Were you able to get this resolved? Would be very interested in what ended up working for you on server 2016. Thanks.
