Windows 10: photo app shows up after sign in

After signing in to my computer, and it goes to my desk top, my photos app automatically pops up. How do I stop this from happening?

:)

 

The Microsoft Photo app keeps crashing...

Photos App Closing Abruptly after opening - ( 30/45 seconds or so).

I opened the Photos app.

Added a Source folder via the Settings of the Photos App, before the Photos App tries to close.

Re-opened the Photos app to Sign Out from OneDrive. Again, you've got to be quick.

Removed the OneDrive Source folder - no files were deleted.

Also, toggled-off the Microsoft OneDrive option in Settings, which is described as ...

"Show my cloud-only content from OneDrive".

Once you've Signed out, you can tidy-up and delete any Collections and-the-like, that were trying to Refresh.

Before doing any of the above, in File Explorer, I made a New Folder in Pictures and added some photos.

This is the folder above, that was added as a Source folder to the Photos app.

My thinking is, Photos needs a default folder in which to search for photos and if one does not exist,

it will tirelessly default to OneDrive.

As far as maintenance is concerned, I believe the most important point is signing-out.

I was not aware of being signed-in when I was using the Photos app,

as I was only using it to quickly preview my photos on my local disk.

I had to click 'Show all Photos' to experience the abrupt shutting down of the app.

Aside:

My last message to MS Community about ...

"Photos App hogging Resources after Falls Creators Update", Feb 13, 2018,

did indeed succeed for myself but I can't help thinking that it could've been a lot easier,

if I had Signed Out first.

 

N97: Please! Not again! Downloaded images are not appearing in "downloaded" list

Still not showing up. They are showing up in the Photo Browser, but not the photo app. Nothing that was added after the 2.1 upgrade.



Will this ever end?
