Microsoft Photo Editor starts minimised
Unfortunately at work I am limited as to the software I can use. I occasionally have the need to work with photos and if I’m lucky I may find that the PC I’m using has Paint Shop Pro installed but more often that not I’m reduced to using Microsoft Photo Editor.
There’s a known issue where, when you open the program or double click a graphic file, Photo Editor will start minimised. When you click on the “entry” in the Windows taskbar, it does not restore to a window. When you open Task Manager, it is running.
To resolve this:
Run Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit).
Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Photo Editor/3.0/Microsoft Photo Editor.
Delete the key called “Initial Position”.
You may need to re-boot for the change to take effect
