Windows 10: Importing photos is not showing images only file names

I have been importing photos from my iPhone 7 to laptop now running Windows 10 for years. I see Microsoft have now changed messed around with the photos app. When I connected my USB cable high speed working fine to my laptop on this occasion, none of the photos were indexed properly, in other words they were not divided into month and the file numbers themselves were not indexed. Three quarters of the photos also were just showing the image name but no image. I have no photos stored on Drive. I just store them on the SDD on my laptop. Could someone please enlighten me on just what ha

importing photos

Thank you for clearing that out. It looks like you are importing the files using the Photos app. When you import photos using this app, the files get imported into your Pictures library. To view these files, refer to these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• On the list of folders on the left side of the window, click on Pictures. You shall see the photos imported from the SD card using the Photos app.

Another option you have is to import the files solely using File Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

• Connect the SD card into the computer.
• Launch File Explorer.
• Click on This PC.
• Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.
• Double-click on the SD card.
• Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose
  Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select
  Paste (Ctrl + V).
• If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.
• If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.

Once you're able to get the hang of the tricks, importing photos will not be a challenge anymore.

importing photos from camera to windows 10 computer

Hi Sandra,

This issue with importing photos may occur if there's a problem with the file location or if the photos were sent to a different folder. We'd like to know if you've encountered any error messages when you import the photos to your computer.

In the meantime, we suggest that you check the photos on your C drive and see if it helps to locate them. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Launch File Explorer.
  
• Click on This PC option.
  
• Type *jpeg or *jpg in the Search
  bar and check if the photos are showing.
  

We'll be looking forward to your response.

 

"import" doesn't show up in Photos

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to import photos in the Photos App from your iPhone. Please let us know the details:

• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• Were you able to import the photos earlier?
  

I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Import photos and videos from phone to PC and

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to import photos to your PC.



However, as you have mentioned that the app closes automatically, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store and see if that helps.



Let us know how it goes.
