Microsoft Photo gives me permission access error for all photos stored anywhere. If I reset it starts working again.Error Message:Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.This error happens for all photos regardless of their location. This means on different drives or different folders that do not have restrictions on them it happens. If I reset Microsoft Photo it immediately lets me access the photos but as soon as I close the program and re-open I can no longer access any photos.I have uninstalled the program a

Microsoft Photos Giving Errors

Sadly, I uninstalled Photos because I wanted to try reinstalling it. Now I can't get it back. When I go the Microsoft Store and try to reinstall Photos, a box will either pop up for a split second or it will give an error saying to turn of the firewall. I have Malwarebytes installed and that's in place of the Windows firewall. When I uninstalled Malwarebytes and rebooted, I still cannot download Photos. And when I tried to turn on the firewall, it won't let me. I do have a backup system image I was thinking about using but I've never done that before. I know what to do but I would rather try to fix this issue. What's a good alternative to Photos? Certain photo apps on the Microsoft Store will not work for some reason. Like 123 Photo Viewer.

This is the error:





I cannot open any picture files and it looks like Microsoft Photos is corrupted. I didn't have this problem yesterday. When I go to the Microsoft Store and try to reinstall Photos, it doesn't work. A screen will pop up for a fraction of a second then close. I checked online for a solution and it said to uninstall Photos and reinstall it through the store. So, I uninstalled it by using Windows PowerShell and then tried again to reinstall it through the store..... And of course, it still doesn't work.

When I tried to reinstall it using PowerShell, it said something about Window's Firewall being deactivated and that I need to turn that on first before installing Photos. This is very strange because I have Malwarebytes and that's pretty much my firewall. I've had it for a few weeks now and never had this kind of problem. I wonder what corrupted Photos. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?
