Windows Photo Viewer cycles through photos very slowly

The Windows Photo Viewer lags when trying to cycle through photos and gives the Windows wait cursor.

Cause

Windows Color Calibration: if you have used the Windows color calibration tool in the past then this is the most likely cause for the Windows Photo Viewer slowdown.

Solution

1. Right click on the Desktop
2. Click Screen Resolution -> Advanced Settings -> Color Management Tab -> Color Management -> Advanced -> Change System Defaults
3. Click on the default profile (it should have the word calibrated) and click Remove
4. The new default profile should not have the word calibrated in it
5. Close the Windows and try Windows Photo Viewer
