    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

  4. Photos not importing pictures from Pictures Folder

    Photos in Window 10 not importing all photos in Pictures folders incl sub- folders

    Hello Andy, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

    I would suggest you:

    -Right click on the picture that you want to copy to the system picture file\folder.

    -Select copy and go the system picture folder and right click on the picture and select

    -paste.

    If that doesn't work for you then you could also try to import the files by using File Explorer:

    -Connect the SD card into the computer.

    -Launch File Explorer.

    -Click on This PC.

    -Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.

    -Double-click on the SD card.

    -Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose

    -Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select

    Paste (Ctrl + V).

    -If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.

    -If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.
