    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to uninstall the Photo app and check if it helps.

    We cannot disable Photos app on windows 10. However, we can uninstall the app and when you require the app you can download it through Windows Store.

      right-click on Windows PowerShell and click on
      Run as administrator
      .

    • Type the following commands, press Enter
      key after each command, in the given order.
    1. Get-AppxPackage

    (This will view all the apps installed in your account.)

    2. Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

    (This will view all Windows apps installed in the computer.)

    3. Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Remove-AppxPackage
