  1. Question about Microsoft Photo App


    I'm trying to help a friend with Microsoft's 'built in' Photo app.


    When the app is opened, Collections appears at the far left (under the Search Bar), and Folders appear at the far right. Can anyone explain why the items under Collection are not the complete list of photos in the standard Picture Folder? However, all the pictures in the standard Picture Folder do appear under the Folders section.


    I can't figure out how to have all my friend's pictures appear under Collections.


    The ultimate 'goal' here is to have him be able to open the Photo App, find a picture and email it ... that's it. I know there are other ways (like inserting it into his email program) but he is not computer savvy and wants the easiest way to do this function.


    I was able to set it up so he can reach his email account through the app but I can't figure out how to get every picture under the Collections section.


    Please help with some resolutions. Thanks.

    :)

  2. WINDOWS 10 MICROSOFT PHOTO APP

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The Photos app brings together pictures from all your devices using OneDrive, so that you can browse them by date, album or folder. It also automatically enhances photos, and creates albums for you, to showcase your best shots.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

    • Go to settings and system.
    • Click on Default Apps and select the appropriately.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to reinstall Photo app using the PowerShell command
    and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.

    • Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell in the search bar.
    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    • Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.

    •   get-appxpackage  *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
