Also, if I were just converting from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I’d have to load Windows Photo Viewer in order to make it a default. Another person had that happen to her early this week, and she had to go find the “Windows Photo Viewer” app and set that as her default, but that option isn’t available today. One other person in my office had the same thing happen to him today, but not everyone here (yet). If I want to scroll-to-next-picture, there are handy arrows at the bottom of the image, which take less time and fewer movements than scrolling. That’s works, and it’s better than some of the other multiple-button hold-downs I saw references to, which seemed like one would have to be double- or triple-jointed to achieve. One of these forum messages says that holding down CTRL while scrolling the wheel does the zoom.

You can also use the left and right arrow keys to do the same. In either case, UI buttons are present for moving to the next or previous photo. It is more a matter of what users have come to know as the expected functionality. It’s hard to say which is the correct functionality scroll to zoom, or scroll to next photo.

If you prefer to use it instead of the Photos app, you can enable it in Windows 10 with a little change in the registry. It is still part of the Windows 10 offering. Windows Photo Viewer was a very popular app in Windows 7. Users complained about the scroll wheel functionality originally because it was different from how the Windows Picture Viewer app worked. This script has been written by Reddit user lblb_lblb. #If MouseIsOver("ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow") The scroll to next/previous photo functionality will be restored. Quit the Photos app and then run it again. Simply copy and paste the following to the notepad, and save it with the AHK file extension. You must have AutoHotkey installed to use this script.

If you’ve upgraded to the latest version of the Photos app, moving the scroll wheel with your cursor positioned over the photo lets you zoom in/out.

Microsoft isn’t likely to add the functionality back but you can get it back with a simple AutoHotkey script. Users are now complaining they liked it the way it was before.

Microsoft gave users what they wanted with an update to the Photos app and replaced the scroll wheel’s next/previous photo function with the zoom function. It was likely due to Windows Photo Viewer, the default photo viewing app in Windows 7 which allowed users to zoom in/out with the scroll wheel. Users were not happy with this functionality.
