Windows 10: Can I view only photos not in an album within Windows 10 Photos?

Question in title.


I would like to organize my entire photograph library and it would be much easier for me to only see photos not in albums, whilst I am organizing.


Kind Regards,

Neil.

Why did the photos app auto-create a random photo album?

The automatic album creation is a new feature:

(Source: Microsoft documentation.) It didn't add all the photos taken on that date because it thought some were too similar to others:

Date and time are definitely taken into account when grouping the photos; a CNET article suggests there might be more complex logic too:

The location would be determined from information embedded in the picture by the device that took it.

Concerning the uninvited appearance of the app: That seems to be a bug experienced by many people with the management of Universal app processes. For some, it's caused by a certain version of DisplayFusion.

 

photo albums

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Could you please briefly explain the procedure that you have followed to setup an album using Windows 10?
   
2. Which application are you using to display the album?
   
3. Which version of Windows is running on your device?
   

Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running
to provide the details.



If you’re referring to Photos app, I suggest you to refer the section “Help the app find more photos” from the article
See all your photos
for the steps.





Hope it helps.
