Windows 10: Windows 10 Photos App failed after editing with Paint.

I captured printscreens yesterday and pasted to paint, then added some remarks etc and saved it from paint as .JPG files. This went all well, no problems opening them afterwards.

1-Today I opened one of these files, I want to do some more editing on it and close it (.JPG still)
2-I then re_open the file using PAINT to edit it, I then made some changes.
3-I then saved the changed PAINT-PIC as .JPG again with extra file name to differentiate between this and original
file, ok its done.

4-When I now tried to open any .JPG file with Win 10 Photo App, just a temp black screen and app crashed.

My temp selution:
Before I tried a restore, I done this:
1-I open the .JPG file with "Open With", then chose the Apple viewer, and associate all .JPG files with it.
2-Now I can see the photos again, but what I dont liked was I cant use the arrows to page to next photos.

Surprise:
3-I the open .JPG photo again with "Open With" and assoccioate all .JPG's with Win 10 Photo-App.
4-To my surprise it now works again.

Entry in Eventviewer(Multile).

Faulting application name.Microsoft.Photos.exe
Faulty module name unknown etc......

For information & anybody nows more about this failure what looks like an file association mishap from a photo changed with paint to .JPG saved, opened & changed with paint(Only as BMP for this photo), then saved again as .JPG.

Window 10 Photos App - Editing of photos

I recently deleted the Photos app in window 10. I deleted the Photos app due to the fact that my children were easily able to view adult photos in the "Collection" window. l

I can now only open a jpeg file with the Paint, Windows Photo Viewer or Microsoft Office 2010 apps. This is unfortunate since whenever I edit a photo I prefer the more user friendly Photos app. Editing photos in the Photos app is so much easier and flexible
to use then editing photos under the Paint, Windows Photo Viewer of other apps.

My questions:

Although I have deleted the Photos app in Windows 10 is there a way to retain (or even download) the editing functions that are provided with the Photos app?

 

Uploaded Photos to new laptop with Windows 10 and all photos are automatically enhanced and look awful.

Which app in Windows 10 are you using to view and edit your photos? Is it the same case if you open the photo in an app such as Microsoft Paint?

 

Ok, it just decided to fail again, after it worked a few times. I deleted the suspect .JPG file I edited, but no change.

I do not want to do a System restore yet.

How do I get the WIN 10 Photo reinstalled or fixed-?

Note: I see in Eventviewer the 1st APP failure was svchost>exe regarding AppsReadiness, vertion 10.0.15063.0

Troubleshoot:
Windows store cache may be damaged

 

Ok, i decided to dump the windoes "photos" app. I cannot find his app, and also do not know how to uninstall it.

Instead I installed a Windows photoviewer called=Restore Windows Photo Viewer, associoated all .JPG / tiff etc files to it, and it works exactly as I wanted it to be.

 

If you install Classic Shell, it will give you a right click option to uninstall the Photos app which you can then reinstall from the Store. You can also try resetting the Photos app from Settings / Apps & Features then choose Advanced options.

 

Eventviewer:

Looking back, the Apps started to give problems as from 2017-09-14. It started failing with Apps readiness.
File=ntdll.dll

This was after Security updates, KB4038806, KB4038788, were installed.

I went to settings, Apps, reset each one from Advanced option, it made no difference.

Thanks, but I could not found that specific app in the store.
Also, I have a problem with all apps, at the moment I do not use one of them. My problem started after KB Update.

 

Classic shell is a program you install from here Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

You could uninstall KB4038788 to check the problem disappears. Also try the Store Apps Troubleshooter.

 

Everything else works fine..

The Apps that fails: I only used the Photo of the lot.

1-Alarms & Clock

2-Calculator.. I fiddled with some of the app related settings and got this one to work, it still works.

3-Grove Music

4-Maps

5-Microsoft Silitaire

6-Mixed Reality Portal

7-Movies & TV

8-One Note

9-Phone

10-Phone Companion

11-Photos......I fiddled with some settings related to Apps and got it working twice, but now it fails again.

12-Voice Recorder.

I dont need these, so as long as the rest of the PC works fine, I dont think I am going to do anything major.
Maybe in 6 months time Microsoft gets to the cause and fix it with an update.

 

Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

I doubt MS will investigate your particular issue; doesn't seem one others report.

If the tutorial doesn't help, try creating a new user account and see if they work.
If they do, it's likely not a basic Windows corruption
If they don't, it probably is.

If so, you can try an in-place repair install of Windows which keeps all programs and data and most settings.

 

Thanks for the link, but for one or other reason it does not work recognising the command for the Photo-app reset, so nothing happens. It seems that every now and then if I try the Photo-App does open, usually twice, then it fails again.
The Eventviewer normally go to says Remote Procedure Call failed regarding the Photo-App.
###################################################################################
I found something in Eventviewer:
Go to.....
>Applications and Services Logs
>Microsoft
>Windows
>Applications Experience
>>Program Telemetry.......
Now I saw entries about compatbility fixes applied......
>>I then try to open the Photo-App....It failed.
Refresh log
.....The log basicly said Windows applied a compatibility fix to Microsoft.Photos.exe.

Now what could this mean ? I would like to see if I can get to the bottom of this without re-installing the OS.
I just try to this for interest sake, I got a Photo-Viewer now that works perfectly, nothing in the log about this one.

 

Did you do this if required?
Open an elevated Windows PowerShell
- an elevated (admin) window?Please post a screenshot of your powershell window.
Also did you cut and paste the command? (I.e. was it accurate?)

I quite agree there's absolutely no need to use any of the universal apps nor anything from the store. You can simply download and install programs from the internet.

 

I did run as administrator & did make sure twice I copied the complete part for single Photo App.

All the old stuff like accessories & any other programs I installed works perfectly, no disc errors etc.

I think that log implies to me that Microsoft is trying something from the last updates, that KB, but it does not work, or the fix it applies to the Photo App is causing the problem on this computer with its settings.

I search google and a load of complaints about these apps pops up.

I play with it a bit more.

 

You could try this
Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials
but don't expect too much..

Does Photos run ok if you create a new user for test purposes?

Anyway, there are better programs around, and in October there's a new build coming out; that's effectively a Windows reinstall procedure (keeping almost everything) so you may well find that fixes it.
