Windows 10: Photos App is hanging up when saving changes

This bug started a few days ago, after editing a JPEG, proceed to save the changes, the program stays in a constant saving mode and will not reset showing the changes. Close the file, go to file manager , open the file and the changes are saved.Right now I have to open each file individually through the file manager instead of being able to move backward or forward with the arrow tabs. I have run the repair and reset functions multiple times with no correction to the issue.

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.

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.
