Windows 10: Pictures disappear from Windows Picture Albums - Microsoft Community

I'm missing photos that I installed in my photos ALBUMS. I have 192 albums and only 20 albums still have photos in them.. Why did they disappear from the Albums. These Albums took a very long time to make up and some are VERY important????Windows 10 Pro, 22H2, PC

Pictures disappear from Windows Picture Albums

Hello,

I imported Iphone and OnePLus pictures to my PC and safely stored them locally in 2 separated folders. I want to use a selection of those pictures to make a photo album with Windows Picture.

I successfully included the folders in the windows picture tool, as they appear in the "Collection" section of the app then imported all pictures in a new album.

I made my selection by removing the pictures I did not want to keep from the album I was making.

The day after, all pictures taken with the IPhone had disappeared from the album I made (but still are in the collection section, and locally stored in the same folder as before). The pictures taken with the OnePlus are still in the album.

Anyone knows how i could retrieve the selection of the iphone pictures I made (and avoid seeing the disappear again)?

Thanks for your help.

Pictures disappearing from Windows Photo Album

I created a new Album and selected pictures for the album. The pictures were saved in the album. Now, several weeks later, the pictures are no longer in the album. I have not delected any pictures or pictures folders.

Why are they disappearing and what can I do to keep the album together?

PICTURES ALBUM

Hi David,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Where have you saved the photo album in PC? Have you saved in local drive?

2) Did you check in Recycle bin?

As a workaround, Try to create a new folder and create a photo album and then save it on desktop or pictures folder in this PC.

If the issue persists, then try to create a new local account and check the issue in that account.

I suggest you to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
• Select Add an Account.
• Enter a user name and hit Next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
• Check if issue persists.

Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
