Windows 10: Alternative to Windows Live Photo Gallery

Use Lightroom Import.
Sounds like you have found what you need.
Happy computing.

 

I really don't get how what browser or search engine you use would make an old, pre-Edge app fall over. I have a horrible feeling it's something to do with one of the drivers, probably the video driver.

 

Oriental slave,

1. Check to see if Compatibility mode is enabled.
Search box, type photo gallery > right click at it > Open File Location > right click at Photo Gallery shortcut > Properties > Compatibility tab at the top > under Compatibility mode heading, did you have the box checked: " Run this program in compatibility mode for "?
If yes, UN-check it > click OK when done.

2. If the above is not applicable, have a look at this article.
It is for Win 7, but it might still be applicable to Win 10.

Click the Fix It button.

 

Yes it could be also if so where did you get the driver from.
The reason I ask is I have installed a driver updater from Auslogics that runs and takes care of any of out of date drivers, and it finds them from the genuine sites.
None of them are from Microsoft

 

Oriental slave,

What if you create another user account with exactly the same privileges as the one you are now using.
Logon to it.
Install Windows Essentials 2012
See if Photo Gallery works correctly in the new account ?

 

Not wanting to faff with another user account, though I can see where you are coming from. The one I am using is only a few days old.

Not going to install drivers from an unknown to me source.

Updating my video driver didn't help.

Think it best I stick with Lightroom and learn to drive it better.

 

Have it your way.
Just to remind you that there is a possibility you have a corrupted user account. Hence my suggestion of creating a new one.
It does not hurt to make sure.

Anyway, happy computing.

 

I've found it also imports equally happily from my phone and my camera, and whilst the tagging works it's not as easy as the Photo Gallery for a variety of reasons. However I can live with it.

 

When advancing to the right from one photo to another in WLPG parts of the previous picture come along. In the advanced picture I will be looking at parts of two pictures. When advancing to the left there is no chopped up picture. Thinking this was an HP Spectrex360 issue I sent my laptop in for repair. HP returned the laptop stating it wasn't their issue. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and used the repair function. All of which didn't change the behavior. My other two PCs, an HP i7 Pavilion (~5 years old) and a Microsoft Surface Pro (i5), both upgraded to Windows 10 have not displayed the behavior noted above. On the Microsoft forum a recent Dell laptop owner described the same issue.

Any suggestions / Has anyone else experience the choppy picture behavior described here and have a solution?

 

I too experienced this problem after upgrading to Windows 10.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron laptop with Intel graphics driver. I seem to have fixed the problem by updating the graphics driver. To do this I opened Device Manager, right-clicked on the Display Adapter in question (Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500),
selected "Update driver software ... " from the menu and use the "Search automatically ... " option. This seemed to fix the problem with WLPG (Windows Photo Gallery 2012) without the need for a reboot. (I did then have a problem with Evernote not scrolling, but a reboot seems to have fixed that, hopefully.)
