Above, Mytour has just guided you on how to restore the mouse scroll photo navigation feature while holding down the mouse to zoom in or out on Windows 10. The reason this feature was complained about by users is because they were accustomed to zooming in and out of images by scrolling with the mouse in Windows 7 using Windows Photo Viewer.
When updating to Windows 10, this feature is no longer available, although it may not be of much concern to many. However, for those who value detail and perfection when using Windows, this is a feature that deserves attention.
