Windows 10: Microsoft Photos app not functioning.

Since the most recent updates on 16th July I am unable to open photos using the Microsoft Photos app. Its random some open some don't, one that opens may not open the next time Its particularly annoying as I prefer the editing functions of this app to most others. I can open photos with other apps.

I have reported this before and received a reply with suggestion that I carried out repair procedure. I did this but it had no effect. I have heard nothing more although I replied with result.

Hi PaBluOz,

Since the language on your PC is already set to Australian English, then I suggest that you reset your Microsoft Photos app. Note that the app's data will be deleted once you reset it.

To reset the Photos app, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
2. Locate and select Photos from the list of apps.
3. Click Advanced options, then click Reset.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you more answers.

Regards.
