    Getting hundreds of pictures I didn't take, why?


    I'm in my school's tech program, and they probably have about 30 computers. (They're Dell Precision 3500s with 1050TIs strapped into them). I have my own personal computer, (I'll post specs if needed) and one day I opened my start menu to find a picture in the photos app that I didn't take. It was taken in the tech room at my school, and opening the photos app, I had nearly 200 random images, all of which taken from someone's camera at school. It wasn't just localized to one computer, either. I'm fairly sure I got the whole class's tech projects. I'm fairly sure I've only ever plugged a flash drive into one of my school PCs, so I ave no idea where all of these images could be from.

    Anyone know anything about this? This happened about a week ago and hasn't since.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Getting hundreds of pictures I didn't take, why?

    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    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
