Print multiple photos in Windows 10 like the old Photo Viewer app could in old Windows 7 / Vista / XP

Question

I want to be able to control which photos to print and at what size -- like you used to be able to in the old Photo Viewer in older versions of Windows rather than the new Metro-style Photos app.

This also has to be in a way that I can explain to a non-technical person over the phone (my Mum).

Options I have considered but don't really want to do:

• Hack the registry to bring back Windows Photo Viewer - not suitable for luddites
• Create a Word document with the photos in and print that - do-able, but not quick, easy, intuitive or repeatable.

Answer 1

Microsoft moved the cheese! I kicked myself when I found out how to do this oh-so-simple task. I had expected to be able to do this from the Metro-style "Photos" app ... but no!

tldr; / Summary

Right click selected photos in windows explorer and select print.

Full explanation with pictures

Open the folder containing the photos you want to print in Windows Explorer, then select the few you want using the normal methods:

• Dragging over them
• Ctrl + A to select all
• Ctrl + Left Click to select multiple individual ones

Then right click one of the selected photos and choose print from the menu that appears.

This then shows the print control you will recognize from your old windows days:

Choose how to print them and you're golden.
