  2. Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

  3. Microsoft Photo's crashing/black screen

    As of the last several days Microsoft Photo's app has randomly crashed upon open. I can use it to open and view dozens of photos, and randomly it will fail and crash. I go to open a photo and I get a black screen for a minute or two, and then it crashes.

    I have tried to reset and reinstall photos.

    I have tried reinstalling my graphics drivers completely

    I have tried rebooting

    I have tried checking for windows and app updates

    None of these attempts have succeeded. I do not have any viruses or malware on the device. Everything else is working perfectly.

    Photos - black screen

    Photos opens as black screen, uninstall option grayed out. Tried repair ;and troubleshooter just tired loading for a couple of hours. It is not listed in store apps.

    Has it been discontinued? is there a replacement.

    If I open a photo, that opens the app and I have imported the latest photos taken.

    Regard
