Windows 10: Can't customize Pictures or any folder properties on a SD card.

There is a bug in Windows 11. I can't change properties for any folder on an SD card. If I right click on a folder, go to properties, go to customize tab, optimize this folder for, no matter what I change it to, whether to music, videos, pictures, or documents and put a checkmark in apply this to all folders, then click apply or OK, it doesn't save these properties. If I open the folder, it goes into a general items view. It works fine for anything on the C drive but not on an SD card. Before you ask, I have the write-protect tab off, and I am able to write to the SD card just fine. This is

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Importing Pictures from SD card


I can't get the Photos app to import pictures from my SD card reader. For a while I had Live Photo Viewer as the default import action (can't remember how), but I'd quite like to get it working with a default app. I note that when I right click on my SD drive, I don't get the option to Import photos and videos

Any suggestions?
