Windows 10: Not all photos showing from external drive in photos app win10

I have all my photos on WD My cloud drive with all the files visible in windows explorer. When i link the photos app to the folder on the external drive, many photos are not coming through.


I removed the link to the folder and linked again and same issie however different photos are now visible and invisible. Many of the photos are taken on an iphone with likely the Apple special file type but even some taken on iphone are shown. I have installed the codec from windows app store to allow the viewing of these apple files through explorer.


On another query someone mentioned a permissions issue but i cant check that as i have no security tab to change permissions and when i try to change that in the registry, i do not have the final explorer folder that the amendment can vbe found in.


Any help much appreciated!

:)

Windows 10 Explorer Deleted Photos still show up in Photo App viewer


Uploaded vacation photos from camera to external hard drive. Open Windows Explorer to cull the bad ones, extraneous/duplicates. Did that and when I opened up Photo App to view reduced picture set - they are all showing - even the deleted ones. When looking at the list in Explorer there are 17 pictures, the slideshow shows 25. All the deleted ones are still showing up.
I created a new folder and moved only the 17 pictures to that folder and deleted the original one. Guess what? They still show up. Haunted by the bad photos which won't go away! Help - What am I doing wrong?
