  1. Disable picture-in-picture annoyance?


    Picture-in-picture pop-outs? I never used to see this annoyance until a little while ago. Is it something incorporated in Windows 10? I don't see any way to switch it off in my browsers. Can it be disabled within W10?
    Windows 10 ver 1909 build 18363.720

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • 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    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
     
  3. I can get only single pictures using picture gallery slideshow

    Hi Steve,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. Let me help you to fix the issue.



    Let’s try simple steps and check if this helps. I suggest you to copy all the pictures in libraries picture folder.


    • Open files explorer and click on the Picture folder.
    • Now copy all your favorite picture to the picture folder.
    Hope this helps. Let us know the status.

    Correct Directory Location For Pictures Folder

    "Now Documents, Videos etc say file location is This PC. But Pictures file location is C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures."

    If we understand you correctly, the issue is that Pictures doesn't appear in the left panel under This PC. The correct location IS C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures. This is only an issue of using Step 8 in the tutorial to add it back to the list. See if this screenshot is what you want to achieve- put Pictures folder back in list on L.
