    Error message in Photos App


    Sorry, Photos can't open this file because the format is currently unsupported, or the file is corrupted.When scrolling through my pictures this message briefly flashes between most but not all of the pics. It started with a few, now it is most of them. I cannot find what is wrong here. Why is it doing this. I have tried scans and reset the app.

    :)

    If I run the Photos App when I insert an SD card I get an error message:

    Connect a device
    Connect the device you want to import from, and make sure it's turned on and unlocked.

    Photos app won't open

    Unfortunately my issue wasn't resolved through those steps.

    I still get the error message "The app didn't start." No error code is listed though. The app attempts to start, the black Photo screen starts, then closes, followed by the error message.

    Am I able to delete and then reinstall the app?
