    Pictures I open on Microsoft Photos are discolored


    Hi. In the past whenever I open a picture with the Windows Photo App that picture would look normal like this.But now when I open a picture the image has a dark/yellowish tint to it like this.Does anyone know why this is happening? When I try to edit the picture it looks normal. When I open the picture with Paint it looks fine. Its just that every time I click on one of my pictures which is opened by Microsoft photos App by default I get that strange discoloration.

    :)

    Can't open pictures

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are getting error when trying to open Pictures on your computer. I'll certainly assist you with the issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • May I know the default application that is set to open pictures?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer?



    It could be possible that the application set to open pictures is not working properly. If Photos app is set as the default application to open
    pictures, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Stop Microsoft Photos from opening downloaded photos

    Hi JamesAderman,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Are you referring to the pictures in Windows photos app??

    If yes, you can proceed with the following steps.

    You can exclude the pictures showing in the Downloads folder from the Microsoft Photos app, by following the below steps.

    1. Launch the Microsoft Photos app.
    2. Click on the ellipse icon >
      Settings.
    3. Under Sources, click on
      X mark next to Downloads folder.
    Microsoft Photos app will not display the downloaded pictures.


    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Regards,
