Windows 10: Opening photos and video

Dear Forum members,
Since upgrading to 10 I am able to only view my stored files but unable to open.
I am given a timed out pop up after 10 seconds of trying to access files.
I have previously been able to open all files easily.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Nick

Videos and photos open and close immediately

Original title: Private Photos and Videos

When I go into my files and try to open my videos or my photos, it will show all photos but not let me open the photo and then it just disappears and closed the files again.

 

Media Player vs. Photo Gallery - Window 10

Download the videos and photos to Windows folders. Open videos with Windows Media Player and open pics with Photos which is listed in your list of programs.

 

As I know it is feature in Win 10, I haven't done anything with it

 

Have you tried going to properties then Security and making sure that all permissions are marked as allowed that is what mine is all marked.

 

You said " since upgrading to Win 10....."
I assume that this problem started since day one ?
If yes, run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.
