[QUOTE="Brandon LeBlanc, post: 1090590"] Hello Windows Insiders, As part of our ongoing effort to improve your experience with the Microsoft Photos app on Windows 11, we have some exciting updates to share. We listened to your feedback and made some changes to the Viewer and Media Import features that we think you will love. We’re beginning to roll this update out to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. Here are some of the highlights of what's new and improved. [HEADING=1]Viewer & Import Enhancements[/HEADING] In this update, the Photos Viewer has been upgraded with a variety of new enhancements that will make your photo viewing more enjoyable and convenient. [LIST] [*][B]Easy Access to Key Photos Actions[/B]: Important actions such as "Start slideshow" and "Share" are now right on the main viewing screen instead of hidden inside the overflow menu. [*][B]Dedicated section for Microsoft apps[/B]: We have grouped all the Microsoft apps shortcuts together so you can quickly and easily navigate to the full photo gallery from the viewer, open in Clipchamp or open in OneDrive.
