  1. Pictures Regularly Disappear from Albums in Photos App


    Hello,


    The pictures that I sort into Albums in the default Photos app regularly delete themselves out of the albums.

    The images are still in the app in general, but now nearly all of my albums are empty. I have 38 albums and only 3 have any pictures in them anymore.

    This seemed to happen slowly over time - in the past I noticed one or two were empty and just re-added my images. But now multiple albums at once have cleared out.


    Is there a setting I'm missing or something? I have not made any updates recently.


    Thank you

    :)

    Why did the photos app auto-create a random photo album?

    The automatic album creation is a new feature:

    (Source: Microsoft documentation.) It didn't add all the photos taken on that date because it thought some were too similar to others:

    Date and time are definitely taken into account when grouping the photos; a CNET article suggests there might be more complex logic too:

    The location would be determined from information embedded in the picture by the device that took it.

    Concerning the uninvited appearance of the app: That seems to be a bug experienced by many people with the management of Universal app processes. For some, it's caused by a certain version of DisplayFusion.

    Hi,

    It seems the photos could've disappeared because of a corruption in the application. To address this issue, we suggest that you run the Windows app troubleshooter to scan and fix for any issues within the Photos app. To run the troubleshooter, refer to this
