Windows 10: Saving Photos not working in Microsoft Photos program

For ages I have been using Microsoft Photos but have suddenly encountered a problem.
When working on a photo I am given the option 'Save a Copy'
Previously this takes me to a page where I have to find the actual folder for the pictures I'm working on and then I'm given a slot to save the picture there with a name.
But suddenly that 'Save a copy' button simply saves a copy of the photo with no option to title it. I have to go to the folder and select rename.
I noticed that there is a drop down menu where I see 'Save a copy' which has the option 'save' but this is greyed out.
When I go to my laptop which also has Microsoft Photos installed there is no problem and I can save to a selected folder and name the photo.
Something has changed - please help

:)

 

Windows 10 - defaul photo program

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

As I understand that you are not able to see Photo Explosion in the list of default programs, I would suggest you to follow few steps to set Photo Explosion as your default program.

• 
  In the search bar type Default programs and press enter
  
• 
  Click on associate a file type or protocol with a program
  
• 
  Select the file type which you want to associate with the photo Explosion.
  
• 
  After selecting click on change programs
  
• 
  Check whether you are able to see Photo Explosion in the list.
  

Hope this information is useful. Do get back to us for further assistance.

 

Windows 7 Will Not Include Email, Photo and Movie Programs

I think people missed that MS did not say "Internet" in the program list. Just Email, Photo, Movie.

 

Automatic Update Made Photo Editing Not Work Correctly

This is NOT solved--just fixed.
Microsoft ran an automated update a couple of days ago and now photo editing is not working the way it did previously. I shoot a lot of photos for a local news website and after editing, saved them with new names that help me sort--so, for example, football photos might be F1, f2, etc. After the update, when i edit a photo, it saves only as a copy of the original name (IMG4028, for example, so I get IMG4028(2). Only after I do that, do I get the "save as" option back, which means i either give up my naming convention or have two or more copies of everything.
Any suggestions? The "save as" option does not appear in the first step anymore.

ADDED: It's the software that came bundled with the Windows 10 Edge computer--it's just the Photos app.

Thank you.
