  2. WINDOWS 10 MICROSOFT PHOTO APP

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The Photos app brings together pictures from all your devices using OneDrive, so that you can browse them by date, album or folder. It also automatically enhances photos, and creates albums for you, to showcase your best shots.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

    • Go to settings and system.
    • Click on Default Apps and select the appropriately.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to reinstall Photo app using the PowerShell command
    and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.

    • Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell in the search bar.
    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    • Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.

    •   get-appxpackage  *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

    Hi,

    I realize that you face difficulty with photos app. I will certainly help you.

    To assist you better, let us know whether you are using same Microsoft account to login to the Windows photo app on both laptop and Desktop.

    If not I suggest you to use same Microsoft account to log-in both laptop and desktop.

    Then sign out of the photos app and restart the system. Then login again into Windows photo app and check.

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to remove and re-add the source location within the windows photo app. Please follow below steps to change the source location.


    • Type photos in search bar and press enter.

    • Then click on settings (gear icon) in photos app and under
      sources section add the path where photos are saved.
