Windows 10: inserting pictures into emails

How does one INSERT not attach an image into the body text of an email message using Optus Webmail?

Email File Insert Function

What are you using for Email?

If it's the Windows Mail app, then the insertion works as expected here - just the picture selected, not the whole folder.

Can you tell us step by step how exactly you are inserting the picture?

 

email

Works OK here in Edge browser.

Steps:

• Create new email or reply to one received
• Click on "Insert a Picture"
• Select Picture
• Click on Insert at the bottom of the picture selection window
• Window returns to email composition and picture uploads.

You don't mention doing no 4.

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

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That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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