Let's try the steps below to import photos from camera to your PC.

• 
  Open the Photos app.

  If you have problems or want to import from a DVD, see

  The app automatically searches for all photos and videos that it hasn’t imported before and selects them. You can also swipe down on or click each photo and video you want to import, or tap or click
