WINDOWS 10 MICROSOFT PHOTO APP

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

The Photos app brings together pictures from all your devices using OneDrive, so that you can browse them by date, album or folder. It also automatically enhances photos, and creates albums for you, to showcase your best shots.

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1:

I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

• Go to settings and system.
  
• Click on Default Apps and select the appropriately.
  

Method 2:

I suggest you to reinstall Photo app using the PowerShell command
and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.

• Open the　Start　menu, type　Windows PowerShell　in the search bar.
  
• Right click on the　Windows　PowerShell　and select　Run as　administrator.
  
• Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.
  

• 　　get-appxpackage　　*Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

photos app stopped working in Windows 10

Original title: microsoft photos

I am trying to open photos in Windows 10. The default app is Microsoft Photos. The app just stopped working this afternoon. When I try to open a picture it comes up with an error saying "The app didn't start". I have tried to delete and reinstall the
app, but the uninstall options I have tried cannot find the app. I have searched to find the Photos application file on the computer and I cannot find it, but when I try to reinstall or update the app from the windows store it says the app is already installed.
There is no way to reinstall it. The app icon is listed in the All Apps list, but when I click on the button there is a brief flash and I get bounced back to the desktop. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Failing that, is there a way to I reset the default photo viewer to Windows Photo Viewer? It is a pain to have to go through the right click - "Open With" process to pick a different program every time I have to open a photo.

 

Cannot reinstall Microsoft Photos App from Store

Microsoft Photos will not install.

Photos would not call Maps from a photo file information. I reset Photos using Advanced Settings. The Photos App now shows on the Programmes and Apps list Start menu, but is not in the Apps list in the Settings list Apps&Features so it will not run.

When I try to reinstall the Photos app from the Store I get the error message 0x80073D05.

I have tried all the usual repairs in Windows help to no avail.

Any suggestions please?
