Unable to change the import destination in photos

Hi Karl,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Are you aware of any changes made to this computer prior to the issue?
   
2. How are you trying to import the camera photos onto your computer?
   

If the Photos Application is just disappearing, then I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in
Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store and then try to import the photos
from your camera onto your computer.



You might not be able to directly import the photos from your camera to a specific folder in the Photos application, so I suggest you to import the photos from your camera and it will appear in the Collection tab in the Photos application. Then, you
will be able to create an Album for all those pictures.



Else, once you connect your camera to the computer, you can go to
This PC > Double-click on your camera > Copy the photos that you want by selecting the photos and pressing the
Ctrl and C keys > Then, paste those photos in a specific folder that you have created.



If you want this folder to be visible in the Photos application, then you just need to go to
Folders tab beside to Albums tab > Click on
Add a folder > Then, select the folder where the photos are located.



For reference, you may also refer Import photos and videos from phone to
PC and the section Import photos and videos from
See all your photos and check if this helps.



You may also follow the suggestions

Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.



Hope it helps.

Unable to change the import destination in photos

Why am I unable to change the destination folder when I try to import photo's from my camera. Every time I try, the app just disappears. I have to import to the folder that is already in the app and then move the pictures. This never used to happen.
