#WINDOWS PHOTO VIEWER WINDOWS 10 SLIDESHOW WINDOWS 10#
Also the windows 10 background slideshow shows the same oversaturation so I assume that is not managed either ( or like windows7, it uses the photos app slideshow mode). Opening a sRGB image in this shows oversaturated colours in either normal or slideshow mode, so i assume this app is not colour managed at all. In windows 10 the default is the "Photos" App. As the application is not colour manageing the image, it simply displays the AdobeRGB image through my Adobe RGB screen and I get the normal colours. However the way to get images to display correctly in screen-saver slideshow or Photo viewer slideshow in windows7 is to use AdobeRGB tagged images. That is not colour managed either and in fact I suspect it is the same application as the Photo Viewer in slideshow mode. The same over saturated images are displayed in the screen-saver slideshow mode. However, if I select the "slideshow" option in the Photo Viewer which displays full-screen, it is no longer colour managed and I see the image become over saturated. When i open a sRGB image it is displayed correctly (ie no oversaturated colours). My experience of this is that it is to a degree colour managed. In windows7 the default application is "Windows Photo Viewer". For most of my work i use Photoshop/Lightroom and have set up colour management in both those applications. Note, I am using an AdobeRGB capable screen which I have calibrated.

Having recently moved from windows7 to 10 I have some observations on how the default photo viewers work.
