    Photo app showing photos even if there's no source folder selected


    The photo app keeps showing old photos even though I've cleared all the source folders in the setting. Even if I add new source folders it'll show the new photos, but keeps insisting showing the old unwated ones from the folders that I've already removed from the setting.

    How do I prevent the app from showing old photos and force it to show only the ones that are from the CURRENT source folders?

    :)

    Windows 10 photo app doesn't scroll to next photos

    Hi guys, in my Windows 10 photo app there is no button to click t move to the next photo in my photo albums. Occasionally I will open a photo in an album and the button is there and I can scroll to the next photo but most of the time it is not there. It's
    really frustrating.

    The other problem I have with this app is that it doesn't display my selected source folders. Even when I have deleted all source folders, the app still shows those folders despite me not wanting them and deleting them in the setting.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks.

    Windows 10 Wallpaper Slidehow

    When you select a folder as the source of Slide Show, you will not see the photos inside that folder. This is the design of Windows 10. This is the reason why we advised you to select the photos in File Explorer first before setting up the Slide Show so
    that you will see the photos. If you want Windows 10 to show the pictures inside a folder when selecting a source in Slide Show, we highly recommend that you post it in the Feedback Hub.

    Thanks.
