  2. Windows 10 photos won't import

    Hi,

    Since you mentioned that you were able to import photos the first time you tried it, we suggest that you download and run the
    Windows app troubleshooter and check if it resolves the issue. This troubleshooter will scan your PC and attempt to automatically fix issues with the Windows store apps.

    If the Photo app still isn't working, try to reset it by following these steps:

    • In the Search box, type Settings.
    • From the results, click on Settings to run the app.
    • Tap System and select Apps & features.
    • Click on the Photos app and hit Advanced options.
    • Press Reset.

    You may also want to check if you have permissions to the folder to which you are importing the photos. Here are the steps to give permissions to the folder:

    • Right-click on the Pictures folder, in the File Explorer, and select
      Properties.
    • Under the Security tab, click on HomeUsers
      under Group or Username.
    • Choose Full Control under Permissions for System
    • Repeat steps 2 & 3 for Administrators under Group
      or Username.
    Restart your PC and try importing the photos again.

    Additionally, you may want to read Andre Da Costa's Forum article using the link below for more info:

    "import" doesn't show up in Photos

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to import photos in the Photos App from your iPhone. Please let us know the details:



    • Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.
    • Were you able to import the photos earlier?


    I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
    Import photos and videos from phone to PC
    and

    Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    to import photos to your PC.



    However, as you have mentioned that the app closes automatically, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
    and see if that helps.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Windows 10 Photo App stopped importing automatically

    Windows 10 Photos - Importing from iPhone no longer sees previously imported photos.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

    The Photos app in Windows 10 usually is able to distinguish the new photos and duplicates. This concern could be caused by incorrect settings or corrupted files. Kindly follow the below mentioned steps to resolve the issue.

    Step 1: Reset Microsoft Store.

    I would suggest you to reset Microsoft Store initially, and sign in to Store and check for latest updates related to Store. After installing the latest updates, you may try to import pictures.

    Step 2: Uninstall Photos app via PowerShell and then install it.

    If the Photos app causes an error, you can repair it using PowerShell.

    • Click Start, type powershell, right-click Windows Powershell and choose
      Run as Administrator.

    • Execute the following command and press
      Enter: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    After uninstalling the Photos app, you may go to Store and re-install the application.

    Additional Information: You may also go through the article provided by
    Andre Da Costa on importing your
    Photos in Windows 10


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,
