Windows 10: Deleted SD card photos I want to retrieve still viewable in MS Photo app gallery - can I...

My fantastic linx tablet was showing me photos in file explorer at the root drive, after it had just transferred them (or so I thought) neatly to an organised folder. Deleted what I thought were duplicates, went to the folder, no photos. In the meantime, the photos are trolling me by being viewable in the Microsoft photo app - I can't edit, or save them down anywhere (even as copy), but I can zoom in and out, so these are full-size images. How am I seeing these if they have been deleted? Are they sitting in a temp file folder I can recover them from? Currently taking screenshots, but the res will be awful :/


Am running recovery software to retrieve from SD card but as it's a 128GB card, it's taking rather a while. Any hints there gratefully received!


Thanks

USB/SD Card to Photo Gallery


To be clear - I'm taking the memory card out of the camera and putting it into either a usb multi card reader and plugging the card reader into the pc or putting the sd card into a dedicated memory stick and plugging that into the pc. I had a look at the options under memory card and they are Import Photos and Videos (Photos), Play (Windows media player), Take no action, Open folder to view (File explorer), Ask me every time. At the moment the option is Import Photos and Videos (Photos). When I plug either multi card reader of the memory stick into the pc photo gallery auto launches but the first windows I'm presented with is a choice of what device to connect to. On my pc I have to choose device k: and Photo Gallery connects to K: (i.e. my sd card). What I'm trying to do (if it is possible) is to tell win10/Photo Gallery that K: is always my camera card so go straight to it - do not ask me what device to connect to.

 

USB/SD Card to Photo Gallery


I import pictures from my sd card via a usb stick - when I insert the usb into the pc photo gallery launches and asks me what device I want to import from. On my pc the usb/sd card device is always f:/ (I always use the same port). Is there a way of telling win10 that when ever I plug my usb/sd combo into the same port it launches photo gallery without asking me what device to import from?

 

USB/SD Card to Photo Gallery


Yeah , I got that , it's a limitation of windows photo gallery , it'll always ask you for the device to import from , I used to use a bit of software from Cannon to import photos from my SD cards and cameras , it used to import automatically without asking me , but I no longer have the disk.

davidhk mentioned he does a similar thing, perhaps he has the info re: the cannon software.
