Windows 10: Missing images in Windows Gallery folder

Recently got a new Android phone and previously, photos taken on my camera synced through OneDrive to the Gallery folder on Windows 11 absolutely fine.Now though, the most recent photos still sync from July, but there's a gap of about six months dating back to January and there's no pictures appearing from in between those dates. Which is strange because I can see they are all still pulling through to the separate Samsung Photostream folder on my laptop. I've already tried unlinking and reconnecting, resyncing, resetting the folders and reinstalling the OneDrive app. Any ideas? Thanks!

Photo Gallery Missing Files


hi slartybart
we're almost there...yes!!
windows 2012 essential, installed all correctly, it is now found in my program & features. I wasn't sure what the next step would be. But i did check to see if Photo Gallery would work, but i received these errors which i have attached. I also attempted to download the file that was needed which i chose the first one, but after reading the details and OS requirement i was unsure if it.

Thanks for your suggestion.



It's a pity that you can't have just 'image' folders show up in the gallery, or 'active' folders as determined by your selection, and simply have it ignore everything else.



I tried your suggestion and deleted the jpg extension on a test picture. I restarted the phone for good measure and the pic still showed up in the gallery. I then tried changing the extension to txt, but even that still shows up as a jpg in the gallery.



A worthy suggestion chanchan05, but unfortunately not a solution.

 

Photo Gallery Missing Files


hi slartybart
thanks again so much for working with me.
ok. i have completed step 1. and the text notepad is attached. 2nd. Photo gallery is an organizer and all my photos has been backed up to an external drive, if i missed anything it won't bother me much as long as this problem is fixed. 3rd. Iwl new search results 0522.txt didn't have wlarp so i downloaded the one you attached and received this error upon installing which is also attached. Based on these previous steps i didn't go any further as to not create more problems.
