Windows 10: why do my photos show up as videos instead of pictures on my new hp

I have copies photos from my disk on my new HP X360 but they are showing up as videos ...how do I convert them back to photos...

:)

 

Photo thumbnail picture


If you do the suggestion by Cyberdesigner and they still show as icons, check your performance settings and make sure "show thumbnails instead of icons" is checked.


Right click Start, select System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced tab -> Performance - Settings

 

Photos and moviesstored in folders under Pictures are now completely covered by the Windows photo Icon

thanks for trying to help.

I followed your suggestions for non Onedrive pictures. However, Show thumbnails instead of icons was checked already. So that wasn't the problem.

The problem might be linked to One drive.. .

The photos that are showing the icons are photos that I was working on a month back, just after I had started using my new PC with Windows 10 . When I began opening and editing photos, ran into all sorts of problems with OneDrive like:

1. I could not delete any pictures
2. could not delete any folders
3. could not delete any documents.

I uninstalled Onedrive and these problems were fixed. So I have left Onedrive uninstalled.

 

Why do my photos show up in the microsoft app but not in my pictures folder?

Hi Cindy,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in photo app settings.



To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "microsoft app", are you referring to photos app?
• Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to follow the steps below to check the source file for photos app and also copy the picture from external device.



Step 1: I recommend you check the source file settings in the photos app settings and check if it helps.

1. Click on Search bar.

2. Then type "Photos" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

3. Click on Settings on the bottom left corner of the Photos app.

4. Then check if under Sources, pictures directory is present or not.



Step 2: I suggest you to directly copy and paste the picture from the external device into the computer.

Please get back to us with an update on issue displaying pictures imported in the photos app into picture folder, we will be happy to help.



Thank you.
