    Will my photo editing software work if I upgrade to Windows 11?


    Microsoft has been pressuring me to upgrade to Windows 11 for a long time now. I do not need all the stuff Window 11 offers. It looks like I have no choice anyway. I NEED TO KNOW IF THE PHOTO EDITING SOFTWARE I HAVE IN MY COMPUTER WILL STILL WORK? I do not want to have to purchase new software as it is not cheep! I also do not know what a passkey is. will I have to dream up all new passwords? Do you know how much trouble that would be??? Then, Windows 11 does not come with instructions, right? It sounds too complicated and I'm not sure I could figure it out. I'm mainly concerned about the ar

    Automatic Update Made Photo Editing Not Work Correctly

    This is NOT solved--just fixed.
    Microsoft ran an automated update a couple of days ago and now photo editing is not working the way it did previously. I shoot a lot of photos for a local news website and after editing, saved them with new names that help me sort--so, for example, football photos might be F1, f2, etc. After the update, when i edit a photo, it saves only as a copy of the original name (IMG4028, for example, so I get IMG4028(2). Only after I do that, do I get the "save as" option back, which means i either give up my naming convention or have two or more copies of everything.
    Any suggestions? The "save as" option does not appear in the first step anymore.

    ADDED: It's the software that came bundled with the Windows 10 Edge computer--it's just the Photos app.

    Thank you.

    Photos / Edit Stopped Working

    This seems to be a hiccup with the application's software. What you can try is to do the following steps which will reset the internal state of the Photo app:

    • Press Windows button + R.
    • Type: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
    • Delete all the contents of that folder

    Let us know if this suggestion helped.
