Windows 10 Photos Scroll Wheel Zoom
Up until a few weeks ago, Windows 10 users could switch to the next/previous image in the queue by scrolling the mouse wheel while viewing pictures in the default Photos app. In short, we could easily see next/previous picture by scrolling the mouse wheel.
About a month ago, Microsoft updated the Photos app. The update changed the default scroll behaviour while using the Photos app. The Photos app no longer displays the next/previous image when you scroll the mouse wheel. Instead, it zooms in or out depending on how you scroll the wheel.
However, one thing that bothers most Windows 10 users using the Photos app is that you cannot zoom in and out with your mouse wheel. Instead, scrolling the mouse wheel will either take you to the next or previous photo.

My PC has been upgrade and a first issue i came acros was in creo parametric was that the scroll wheel would not zoom IN or OUT on windows 10. This is an easy fix with changing mouse settings.
As you know, most classic desktop programs support this zooming in or out using mouse scroll wheel. According to Microsoft, many users requested this zoom in and zoom out using scroll wheel instead of switching to next/previous picture. Even the classic Windows Photo Viewer also supports zoom in and zoom out using mouse scroll wheel. So, the Photos app now behaves like most other photos viewing programs out there for Windows 10.
While many users are happy with the new behaviour of the Photos app, users who were using the scroll to see the next/previous picture want to restore the old behaviour of the Photos app.
If you’re wondering how to switch to the next/previous image in the latest version of Photos app, use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to quickly see the next or previous picture.
