Windows 10: Can't install google photos desktop on my windows 10

I can't seem to install it. I've read older closed threads and tried everything without success (disabling ipv6, turning firewall off, deleting GoogleUpdate.exe key, etc)

has anyone confronted the same issue? it opens, says its downloading and then it says that the installation is complete and nothing else happens *cry

:)

 

Google Chrome closes

When I try to post a photo from Google photos to facebook Google Chrome flashes and then closes. I can't re-open Google Chrome until I restart the lap top.

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Install, upgrade, & activate

 

Photo App/Tile for Windows 10 Desktop similar to old Windows 7 Photos Gadget?

Is there a tile or app I can place on my Windows 10 Desktop that would always display a photos slide show like the old Photos Gadget did in Windows 7? I found something that would change the whole desktop background with photos, but I just want something
small like I had with the Photos Gadget/Widget I had with Windows 7. The old gadget used to let me view a particular photo that was displaying at the time and open it in my favorite photo editor if I wanted to as well.

I know there is a tile in the startup menu that seems to do this, but I can't seem to pin it to the desktop.

I know there are others out there who are interested in this as well, but I haven't been able to find a solution using Bing or Google.

Thanks!

 

Hi, being unfamiliar with the program, and assuming it's a desktop program rather than a Store app, could you post a link to that? Thanks.

 

thanks for the fast reply

here is the link: App downloads - Google Photos

Hi, initially it seemed I had to run the stub installer in Win 8 compatibility mode (before it started to download)- then it installed ok.

 

I seem to remember that the program was discontinued on the Windows platform a while ago.
