Slide Show issues while accessing Photos

Hello,

Thank you for your continued patience on this issue.

At this point, I suggest you to reinstall the Photo App in Windows and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Step 1: Uninstall the Photo App

• 
  Press Windows key and type Powershell
  in search, right click on it and Open as administrator .
  
• 
  Copy and paste the following command in Powershell and press enter:
  
  get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
  
  

Step 2: Re-install the Photo App from the below link:

Microsoft Photos

Search in Photos app

Hi,

I transferred all my photos to OneDrive and changed the system pictures folder to the pictures folder in OneDrive.

I made sure the folder is listed in the Photos app, but all the photos disappeared from the Photos app. I have waited for 40 minutes hoping it will be appear - but nothing.

Finally it came back when I checked the option to show online files from OneDrive. It is a bad solution because there are two options: one - showing photos from all OneDrive, two - showing only photos from the pictures folder in OneDrive.

The pictures folder of OneDrive is not the folder I'm using (still showing nothing), and showing all photos is not what I want.

Also, working "online" while all the photos are located locally on my computer - is too slow and very unnecessary. I couldn't even right-click on a photo and open file location (because it's on OneDrive).

Although, after I unchecked the option to show online files from OneDrive, I saw all my photos from the right folders as listet on the app settings (and could right-click to show folder location), so now it's ok.

The problem now is that in-app search is not working anymore. It doesn't show indexing progress, doesn't suggest face tagging and all functionality of search.

I tried to restart search service, to rebuild index, fix the app in windows settings, reset the app and reboot computer, but nothing helped.

Is there any way to force and restart the app indexing?

Thanks!

 

windows 10 slide show not working

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to the community - by Windows 10 slide show, do you mean the desktop background slide show is not working or the slideshow option in the Photos app?

If it's the desktop background slide show and you are using on a laptop or tablet that is unplugged, by default the power options will likely not continue the slideshow. You can change this option in the advanced power settings:

• Type Power Options in the Search/Cortana bar
• Open the Power Options - Control Panel option
• Select Change plan settings on the power option that is selected for your device
• Click Change advanced power settings
• Under Desktop background settings - Slide Show, change the "On battery" option from Paused to Available

Regards,

Jaime
