  1. Thousands of images in my Windows 10 photo app


    For some reason, thousands of random images have appeared in my Windows 10 photo app that came installed on my HP computer. The computer is three years old but images have started popping up recently. HP Friend subscription service tells me its a Microsoft synching error and there is no way to stop it!! Any suggestions?

    :)
