No doubt there will still be some way to extract the files from a Win 7 or 8 machine and run it on 10. Someone smarter than me could probably figure it out.

Not likely possible - since it is managed by rundll32.exe , not by its own executables - but I'm looking into this for you.
The command is:
Code:
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1I doubt it is being purged. they'd have given us a real photo viewer to test a long while back if this was the case. The current "Photo" app is plain useless. Would be pretty silly to purge something that everyone uses and when there is no viable alternative available.

Another hotfix. I can finally pin apps to start menu without having to drag them!
Sorry to be dumb but what do I do with the code? I tried to put it in the run command and nothing happened.
OP
1) Run REGEDIT
2) Navigate to
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\OpenWithListThis will add Photo Viewer to the Open With list of programs for .jpg files.
Repeat this process for other file types, by navigating to other ...\FileExts\... in your registry.
Not responsible for any problems this may cause you.
I'll show you mine:

Aaaaaaand, of course, it failed on mine, just like the last update. I guess I'll try the uninstall and update method.

I use maps very often as part of my work (geophysicist). The offline maps with Windows 10 on the Surface Pro 3 are very good, with or without my USB GPS. I take the Surface out in the field with me along with Geiger Counters and other rock measurement devices. Surface is rugged - in the right case, of course. My two-wheeler can charge the Surface battery when necessary.
I had downloaded about 18 of the individual USA States maps before I noticed that the entire region (country) is downloadable, but I was worried that if I chose to download the entire USA, significant disk space would be wasted in the duplication of those 18 States.
Not so.
Immediately, the progress bar jumped to about 1/3, showing that the States were recognized as part of the whole. No wasted space.

To be honest, I never used Microsoft's builtin photo viewer. I always used 3rd party apps (such as irfan)
Mine keeps failing too and the hotfix updates aren't showing up for me
