    Photos app - cropping is choppy


    This is a problem that I've had with my Windows 10 machine ever since I built it, even after I've changed motherboards and graphics cards, so I'm really stumped as to what's causing it.

    When I click on any photo to edit it in the default Windows 10 photos app, cropping the photo (by clicking Edit & Create --> Edit) and then dragging the selected area, it crops in an extremely "choppy" manner, it never drags smoothly. I can drag the cursor nearly to the other end of the screen and the crop doesn't "catch up" for a few seconds. Why is there so much lag?

    I thought maybe this was simply how this app behaved, but I was able to use another computer with Windows 10 and tested it on that one, and the cropping is very smooth and how I imagine it should be. Why is it so choppy on mine? I am using a 4K screen and the other computer I tested it on is a 1080p monitor, so I'm not sure if that could be the culprit.

    :)

    Crop tool Photos App not working

    Thank you for the information.

    To help us isolate this further, kindly provide us the following information.

    • What changes have you made prior to this issue?
    • To which program are you exactly using the crop tool? Photos App or Office 2016?
    • You mentioned crop tool is not working properly when Photos App is used. Have you tried to close it, and check if the issue persists?

    If you are only experiencing the issue with Office 2016, kindly run the repair Office application by referring to the steps listed on this

    link    .

    However, if you are encountering it with Photos App only, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps through this

    link    .

    Looking forward to your response.

    Cropping Photos?

    Is there a way to crop a photo I took on my LG Quantum WP7?? Pretty simple task which I hope doesn't mean a App needs to be purchased to do..

    Crop tool Photos App not working

    Not sure what you are suggesting. On the Photo Viewer App, there is nothing that lets me select, Aspect Ratio or Custom. It just gives an 'edit' option and when you choose 'Crop or Rotate' the Crop doesn't work. It just will not let you 'draw the lines'
    as needed. Jumps to it's own conclusions, which cuts off part of the photo itself.

    Weird...??!!
