Windows 10: Photos app doesn't show all photos when a network storage is selected as the source

Hello,For years I had all my .jpg photos on an external hard drive and also choose the main folder on this external hard disk as the source folder in the photos app. That also works, after some time the photos app found all photos and everything was fine.But then I decided to buy a NAS system and put my photos on there. So I did that I copied the same folder structure from the external hard disk to the nas system. I mapped the NAS systen in windows and put the main folder as the source folder in the photos app. Unfortunately the photos app only shows a fraction of my photos and even after wait

:)

 

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 unable to sync photos

Hi,

I realize that you face difficulty with photos app. I will certainly help you.

To assist you better, let us know whether you are using same Microsoft account to login to the Windows photo app on both laptop and Desktop.

If not I suggest you to use same Microsoft account to log-in both laptop and desktop.

Then sign out of the photos app and restart the system. Then login again into Windows photo app and check.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to remove and re-add the source location within the windows photo app. Please follow below steps to change the source location.

• 
  Type photos in search bar and press enter.
  
• 
  Then click on settings (gear icon) in photos app and under
  sources section add the path where photos are saved.
  

Please get back to us if you still face any difficulty with photos app.

Thank you.

 

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
