Windows 10: Split Function is gone from Video Editor

I went in a few days ago and the split feature was there. Today nothing. I've looked at previous threads to no avail. I've also tried all the other options and ideas to fix to no avail. Any idea what's going on?

:)

 

windows 10 video editor, the split video option disappeared, please help

Actually you have only the trim option.

As you can read there:

Your is a common issue and also on my Video Editor there isn't the split video option, but only trim. It is possible that's one of the issue of Photos feature missing due to updates, but it is also possible that the feature has been dismissed, leaving only
the trim option.

Using trim and copy video, you can still split the video, even if it is a longer activity.

SPLIT VIDEO FUNCTION in MICROSOFT PHOTOS has disappeared

I have been using the "Split" function in the Microsoft Photos app for quite awhile now, but today that functionality disappeared.

I can't even find a reference to that function in the documentation anymore.

Today, I opened a video using Microsoft Photos.

I was able to split the video into a number of segments by clicking the "Split" icon at various points in the video.

I was then able to delete several segments, and save the thus edited video to a new file. It worked perfectly, as always.

Then, a few seconds later, I opened another video in Microsoft Photos to do the same thing.

But this time, the "Split" icon was no longer there, no matter which video I open.

(The "Split" icon used to be next to the "Trim" icon.)

So, what happened to the "Split" functionality in the time span of less than a minute?

(Please don't tell me that I can do splits by repeatedly doing trims - that is too tedious!)
