Windows 10 Photo App crashes (no, really?)

Does it crash on launch or later? If it crashes on launch it is because a "ccleaner" type of app was run. Re-installing the app should fix it

If it does not crash on launch

First, ensure that the user has installed all OS updates and Store updates for the Photos app.

If they are up-to-date, be sure to always ask for the problem because we can use this to ensure we are tracking a fix. To ask for the problem report, give the following instructions.

1. In the Search bar, type "View all problem reports" and click on the result with the same name

2. Find the Photos app in the list and find an event with a timestamp that matches a time the Photos app crashed

3. Right-click on that event, and click "View technical details"

4. Select the text containing the Problem Signature and Extra information about the problem. Specifically, we are looking for the Bucket ID, which looks something like this:
Bucket ID: dcd339be3c7f9cc9e993703ea23a17c7 (133180262161)

5. Reply to this post with that text. There isn't any personally identifiable information in the text, it will just help us look up the crash details.

Here are some next steps you can recommend based on behavior:

If other apps are crashing besides the Photos app, it may be a Store problem. Running the following commands will reset the Store:

Method 1: I would suggest you to reset Windows store.

• Right click on start and select ‘RUN’.
• In the Run window, type WSReset.exe and click “Ok”.

If the Photos app is the only one crashing, it could be a problem with the Photos app database. To reset the database, perform the following:

1. Press windows button + R

2. Type: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

3. Delete all the contents of that folder

 

GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.
