I am just looking fpr pointers as to what might be causing it and whet else I could tryMartin

Any way to get the Windows Photo Viewer & Windows Live Photo Gallery?

Windows (Live) Photo Gallery comes with Windows Essentials as a package. ( MS has removed the word "Live" ).
Do you have Windows Essentials installed ?
The package includes Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, OneDrive.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

• What is the exact error message you are getting?

I suggest you to go to the photo location right click on the photos folder and click on properties and take the ownership of the folder and then try to import it and check if the issue persist.
