Windows 10: Cropping arrow very hard to establish at first

When I try to hold the mouse pointer exactly over the edge of a photo in Photos, the cropping arrow pointing in both directions is very hard to establish for doing the first crop. It blinks in and out of existence too quickly, even if I try very hard to position the pointer exactly right over the edge. Once I do one edge crop, the other edge crops are very easy to do. I think something needs an adjustment in Photos or Windows 10 64-bit.

Crop Function Greyed out

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Usually when you preview a picture that was captured from camera app, it should open in the photos app where you can edit/crop it. I would suggest you to try editing/cropping the photos in
Photos app.
As you mentioned that issue occurred after the update, I would suggest follow the steps provided below and check if that helps:



Method 1: Please follow the steps provided in the article: Fix problems with apps
from Microsoft Store.



Method 2: Reinstall the app using PowerShell.

1. Open PowerShell and run it as admin. To open PowerShell, right click on the start button and then on Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Then type: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsCamera | Remove-AppxPackage.
   
   
3. Reboot your computer.
   
4. Open PowerShell again and then type: Reinstalling apps:
   Get-AppXPackage -allusers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
