    My photo app has blanked out all of my photos to grey.


    My photo app has for Windows 10 has blanked out all of my photos. All of the folders and photos are still there, but it is just a blank grey. I do not think I have done anything to change any settings. I have not downloaded anything. When I try to view a photo, the viewer comes up with a grey screen and the little dotes of death wandering across the top of the screen for all of eternity. It has been this way for several days. I feel that the photos are still there, because there is a all of the folders and photos are still represented. I must have done something, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it was.

    :)

  2. Vanished photos & Greyed out App

    My 640 Microsoft Lumia phone used to show photos on my Live People tile on the front of my phone. However, these seem to have vanished and also no longer are in my contacts list - where previously I had photos, I now just have blank squares.

    Also my Twitter app has crashed for about the 6th time - it has greyed out on my screen and will not start. I would rather not keep uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but is this the only way of dealing with this?

    My photo app has blanked out all of my photos to grey.

    Are these photos JPGs or a RAW file like CR2 or NEF? If the latter, then you might need to download a codec from Canon or Nikon. That's what I do for all my NEF files.

    Which app are you using?
