    Can't access file and uninstall apps


    this is the first time that this has happened to me. I can't access WindowsApps file that contains the installed apps on my desktop. thus, can't delete any apps. I remember I was able to uninstall an app a few months ago. What could've happened??? How do I fix this

  3. File Explorer Crashes and unable to access Photo App

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you while accessing the photos from Photo App, we will help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to copy the photos files to a different location and try to upload it as a profile picture on Outlook account and check if you are able to do it.

    If the issue still persist, suggest you to troubleshoot the Photo App.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click on Windows Store Apps.
    • Select “Advance” and click on “Run as Administrator”.

    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    If the issue persists then follow the below method:

    Method 2: I would recommend you to uninstall the Photo app
    using Windows PowerShell command and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.


    • Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell in
      the search bar.

    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.

    • Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.
    • get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
    After performing the above steps, install the Photo app from the Windows store.

    Reference: Refer to the following Microsoft article on
    Photos app for Windows help.
