Here it also no longer works on Windows 11 now, probably due to a recent update of the Photos app. The same code still works on Windows 10, so apparently Microsoft has broken something in the Photos app. I thought that they may be blocking Desktop programs now, but then I tried the same code from a Windows Store app, and it also doesn't allow to switch between files in the Photos app.

Maybe a future version of TC or Photos app will work.

In the meantime here is the fix:

Install version 2024.11030.22001.0 of Microsoft Photos app. You can get it from 'uptodown' (file name: microsoft-photos-2024-11030-22001-0.msixbundle). Disable 'auto update 'of Photos app in Microsoft Store, else it will get updated to latest version.

So they really broke it with an update - thank you, Microsoft.
I will use the method described elsewhere in this forum:
ms-photos:viewer?fileName=c:\path\file.jpg
This works, but doesn't allow to choose which file types will be passed to the photos app.
