NumberSix Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Has anyone using Windows 10 LTSC (2019) installed the photos app back? (I'm not talking about the photo viewer - I have enabled photo viewer and set it as default for opening image files but it seems to default back to opening in paint - which is going to annoy users - and I think the photos app will be useful for cropping and adjusting photos - it's very handy for this and I think the pupils would benefit from it). So, I've just downloaded the Windows 10 Inbox Apps ISO from VLSC and in there are the 2 files I think I might need: microsoft.windows.photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe.xml Am I correct in thinking that I could install this .appxbundle and .xml file to my Windows 10 build VM using the Add-AppxProvisionedPackage and then when I perform a sysprep and capture the photos app will then be included within deployments? I'd be interested to see if anybody else has already done this and if it was successful. Edited February 28, 2019 by NumberSix
free780 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I believe UWP is not supported on LTSC as the Store is not installed.
timbo343 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Strange how you are still having an issue with photos opening in MS Paint. Sounds like something in the default apps isn't applying if you are using an xml file to specify the default apps. Our's attached if you want an example defaultapps.pdf 1

I think that my issue may have been that I was experimenting with setting up U-EV at the same time and I had removed the local profile from the two test computers along with the SettingsPackages folder on the server for the test user I was working with. Logins to new machines seem to open in paint now on the first time but subsequent logins are then opening with the photo viewer app. However, your file should be useful and so I might just set up a GPO with file association settings to help keep things consistent.
