    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    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Picture Password is dithered

    Hi Joan,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



    We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We will help you in resolving the issue.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions regarding the query:

    • What happens when you click on Add option from the settings page?
    • Do you get any error message?
    • Are you using Microsoft account credentials to login into your PC?


    Method 1: This seems to be a temporary issue, I suggest you to reboot the PC and check if you are able to set the picture password.



    Method 2: If the issue persist, convert the Microsoft account to a Local account and back to Microsoft account and check if you are able to set the picture password:

    Step 1: To convert to local account, follow the steps below:



    • Sign in to your Microsoft account on Windows 10.
    • Click Start and then PC settings.
    • Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Disconnect on the right of the screen.
    • Enter your Microsoft account's password, and click on Next.
    • Type in a Username, Password, and
      Password Hint that you want set for your Local account and click
      Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.


    Step 2: To switch back to Microsoft account, follow these steps:



    • On the newly converted Local account, click Start and then PC Settings.
    • Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Connect to a Microsoft account.
    • Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password, and click Next.
    • Choose if you want OneDrive as your default file saving location, click Next.
    • Click Switch.


    Hope this helps!
