Windows 10: Photo editor saves copy which is partially hidden from documents

I edited a file I had copied from my camera and saved a copy using Photo editor 10, but clicking on the Documents icon under quick access shows everything except that file, I can only access it by going to This PC / Local disk C / users / my-username / documents to find the file or Looking at recent files which list it as being in This PC / documents

I have tried looking at the properties of the file and the Properties of the documents folder but cant work out why it would be selectively hidden, I did try opening the files properties and ticking on unblock this file but that made no difference.

The Documents folder and This PC / Local disk C / users / my-username / documents folder appear to have the same properties so is there a problem with files created by Photo editor or is it a problem with the way my files are handled?

I am using version 1809 build 17763.557 of Windows.

Does anyone know what attribute/security setting to look for to diagnose this problem?

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall
