    Photos won't open on windows


    For some reason a large selection of photos and videos are no longer accessible when I try to open them from my documents, both on the PC and in Onedrive. These are mostly JPG files but it hasn't impacted ALL the jpg files, there is a small selection which open just fine.I have tried opening the images in different apps but this doesn't work either - it just says "we can't open this file"I have tried numerous troubleshooting including updating my laptop, 'repair' and 'reseting' the photos app. This is super frustrating, I've lost 100s of photos.Please help? Thank you

    :)
