Windows 10: Photos missing

Following the last windows update, pictures that I had imported from a flash drive less than a week prior to the update are now missing. I uninstalled the latest version of windows that was installed on 7/17/2020 but my pictures are still missing. I have viewed many "how to recover pictures" on you tube and read help blogs but nothing has worked to this point. The pictures have been over-ridden on the flash drive now with a windows program that was to help solve a problem on another laptop, but that is another topic for another time. Thank you for any assistance.

Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?

 

Photo App Missing on Windows 10

I've seen several threads about installing a missing photo app. I've tried the suggestions listed on these threads to get the photo app back and nothing works. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Missing Photos

Hi Tanya,

There are different ways to restore your deleted or missing files, such as restoring it from previous versions or from a backup. Since that your back up hard drive isn't working, we suggest that you restore your deleted or missing files from previous versions.
Follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Open File Explorer.
• Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, and then right-click on it.
• Select Restore previous versions.
  If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then click on
  Restore previous versions.

To delete those duplicate photos, we suggest that you visit
Microsoft Store and check for available 3rd party app for it.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
