Windows 10: Exporting Video

A 55 min. video I created two nights ago in the Windows Photo app. has been exporting ever since - going on two days. I create MP4 videos for my church every week and have not had a problem until the last two updates to Windows 10 - It hasn't happened yet, but I'm afraid it is going to error out eventually. It is at about 80% completion - the completion bar hasn't moved it seems in the last 4 hrs.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the difficulties you are facing with the Photos App, while exporting video project. We were able to create and export the video project. So the issue could be with photos app installed in the PC. I would suggest you
to follow the steps mentioned in these methods.



Method 1: Please refer the steps as mentioned in

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store article.



Method 2: You can also try to re-install the app using PowerShell. Here are steps to re-install photos app:

1. Open PowerShell (Admin). Right click on the start button and then on PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Then type: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
   
3. Once the above command is successful. You can install the Photo app from Microsoft Store.
   

We await your response.

Export of Final Video Issue

Hi Franc,

The challenge that you're experiencing could be related to the video format, display resolution, or player that you're using. For us to isolate your concern, we would like to know the following:

• How did you export the video and where did you save it?
• After you exported the video, have you checked the video details if there were any changes with the actual resolution?
  
• Does this happen to all the videos that you exported regardless of the format and resolution?
• Have you tried using a different video player and see if the issue persists?
  

Regards.
