Windows 10: Photo recovery

I did a windows recovery because of a critical stop error. I can’t find my photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated

:)

 

Recovery of photos

Hi Nancy,

I realized that you have to use a third party recovery service to restore your photos. With that in mind, please know that we don't keep a list of all these recovery websites. So finding a website based on your description may be a little of a challenge.
I do hope someone in this Community had used the same website before.

I can only suggest to keep your photos or any important files backed up to prevent something like this in the future. You can use a cloud backup (ie, OneDrive) or use a flash drive.

All the best.

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
