Restore the good old Windows Photo Viewer as the default app to open images. You can refer to this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/14312-restore-windows-photo-viewer-windows-10-a.html Please add a tweak in the utility to automate the Windows Photo Viewer restoration process explained in the link above.

Why would you want to make an app that was deprecated 10 years ago with the release of Windows 10 as the default app to open images? Yes, you can add it using a registry tweak, but I don't see any value in adding this to WinUtil as an official tweak alongside things that actually debloat and improve your PC. Just do the tweak on your own machine or use a FOSS application if you don't like the new Photos application.
