Windows 10: Photos App Remains Blank

It is several moths that Photos app no longer is able to find a single photo. It also has my OneDrive greyed out as though cannot log me in or cannot understand I am logged in. So in Settings "Show my cloud only content from OneDrive" is greyed out. Then this app by itself adds several folders on my hard drive which are picture folders of OneDrive to Photos but still it is unable to find any photos. Any solution? Photos app shows me not logged in and does not let me login. As soon as login popup open it disappears.
