It looks like it's rounded so I think it is Windows 11, but surprisingly it is using the photoviewer from the Vista era.

I didn't knew it was apparently still included in newer windows, I switched to nomacs as the image viewer in my Win11 because I disliked the new image viewer - it's usually slow, and it has weird controls for a desktop system.

Yeah animated mouse wheel zoom will do it. And as a bonus "Photos" takes a lot longer to load. And what's this? "Edit an image using AI". Yeah, the pop ups.

Unfortunately you have to patch in photo viewer in order to use it out of box.

I switched to the classic photo viewer because I am not a fan of the new one. You can switch with a bit of registry "hacking":

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll" /f

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell" /f

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open" /f /v MuiVerb /t REG_SZ /d "@photoviewer.dll,-3043"

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open\command" /f /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe \"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_Fullscreen %1"

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open\DropTarget" /f /v Clsid /t REG_SZ /d "{FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}"

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\print" /f

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\print\command" /f /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe \"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll\", ImageView_Fullscreen %1"

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\print\DropTarget" /f /v Clsid /t REG_SZ /d "{FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}"

For HEIC photos, you might still want to use the new viewer.

Yeah, it was HEIC that brought me to nomacs, I never heard of the format until I switched the phone for an iPhone.
