Windows 10: How to get Permission to view pictures in Photo app

HELP, I am at my wits end, have had a problem with my Lenova , reset, now unable to see SOME pictures in my Photo file, they are greyed out with a message, saying I dont have permission to view these pictures. Help please

:)

 

Unable to view transferred files on the computer due to file permission issue on Windows 10.

Hi Andrea,



Please reply to a few questions asked below to understand the issue better:

• Which photo viewing application are you using on the computer?
• Did you check if you are able to view the pictures using other photo viewing application?

If haven’t tried, check if you are able to view the pictures using other photo viewing applications on the computer. If you are facing similar issue and able to access the old computer, check if you are able to view the picture files on connecting
the external device.



If you are able to access pictures in the old computer, give Full Control permissions to the folder by following the steps suggested in the above post, copy the same to an external drive and transfer onto the new computer and check
if the issue is resolved.



Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of not able to view photo files on the computer
for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

No permission to view photo files.

• Version 1803 OS Build 17134
• All photo apps are affected. Getting message such as 'file access denied' or something to that effect.
• File formats jpg, png, pps affected (the only ones I use)
  
• Not all photos are locked out
• Problem occurs only within OS created PICTURES folder
• Files on my backup hard drive open correctly

• Nearly all MP3 and WMA audio files in the OS created MUSIC folder are denied access by WMP and GROOVE apps
• Libraries can't be built as these apps can't access files
  
• Again, no problems on the backup (E drive. All read permissions and file access are enabled
  
• If I copy a file or folder (photo or music) from the affected folder to the desktop (folder) it will open (display/play) correctly

It appears to me that the common thread is in the PICTURES and MUSIC root folders on the main drive.

 

Cannot view photos in photo app


I opened my picture library and double clicked to view photo, photo App opens and shuts immediately and then displays an error message. This happens with all photos/pictures I have tried to open!



How can I view my photos/pictures in Windows 10? *Sick

Just to clarify I sign in with a Local account, do I have to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the apps?
