Does Windows Live Photo Gallery work in Windows 11?

Has anyone tried installing WLPG in Win 11 yet? I’m a holdout still using WLPG to manage my photo library and curious if I should start looking for a replacement.

 

Also, does the legacy Windows Photo Viewer still work in Win 11 with the registry hack? I much prefer WPV to the Photos app in Win 10.

    <p>Is there a good way to download/install WLPG? I tried getting it running after a building a new computer for my dad, but did not find a way to get it installed. It would be nice if they released Windows Live Photo Gallery as open source.</p>

      <p>I downloaded it from Major Geeks, as part of the Windows Essentials suite. At a quick glance it appears to still be there. But I have no idea if it works on Windows 11.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

    <p>As one who also uses and prefers Windows Photo Viewer instead of Photos app, I’m wondering that myself in regards to Windows 11. </p>
