    Hi. First time poster here. Recently I've been having this issue with the Photos app on my Surface Mini laptop. Every time I click on a photo on my desktop, minimize it for a bit to do something else, and then reopen it, I am taken to this thing called Collections. I have never seen Collections before and I didn't even know it existed. It's irksome and I want it to stop, because I have no reason to use it. There's no reason for the Photos app to even take me there, either. It happens every single time and I don't know why. I have been signed out of my OneDrive for a while now, but I don't thin

  2. How to delete photos from collections, but keep in albums

    If I delete photos from my collection, they are also deleted in their album. Can you delete collection photos and keep them in an album. Takes up more storage.
