Hi,


While viewing photos in Microsoft photos app, with photos there were some emojis type images from program file were coming.


in order to get rid of that I did reset the app using setting -app- Microsoft photo app - advance -RESET


after this when I am trying to open the photo app, it’s asking for signin again, and I am not able to see the old albums I had before.


did this RESET erased all photos and albums ? It had last 5 years photos and videos


Is there any way I can retrieve that albums back ?


Please help

Why did the photos app auto-create a random photo album?

The automatic album creation is a new feature:

(Source: Microsoft documentation.) It didn't add all the photos taken on that date because it thought some were too similar to others:

Date and time are definitely taken into account when grouping the photos; a CNET article suggests there might be more complex logic too:

The location would be determined from information embedded in the picture by the device that took it.

Concerning the uninvited appearance of the app: That seems to be a bug experienced by many people with the management of Universal app processes. For some, it's caused by a certain version of DisplayFusion.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

  Are you referring to the slide show option in the photo app?
  

I suggest you to follow the below steps for the slideshow option and check if it helps.

• 
  Open the “Photo App”
  
• 
  Go to any three options “Collection”, “Albums” and “Folders”.
  
• 
  Click on any “Photo” and press the key “F5” it will launch slide show.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Could you please briefly explain the procedure that you have followed to setup an album using Windows 10?
   
2. Which application are you using to display the album?
   
3. Which version of Windows is running on your device?
   

Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running
to provide the details.



If you’re referring to Photos app, I suggest you to refer the section “Help the app find more photos” from the article
