Windows Photos Export Video Project Problem

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the difficulties you are facing with the Photos App, while exporting video project. We were able to create and export the video project. So the issue could be with photos app installed in the PC. I would suggest you
to follow the steps mentioned in these methods.



Method 1: Please refer the steps as mentioned in

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store article.



Method 2: You can also try to re-install the app using PowerShell. Here are steps to re-install photos app:

1. Open PowerShell (Admin). Right click on the start button and then on PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Then type: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
   
3. Once the above command is successful. You can install the Photo app from Microsoft Store.
   

We await your response.

Help! Lost all childhood family video projects after moved the default folder directory to external drive

Hi,

I have worked on and created many family videos using Windows 10 Photo apps under the default folder directory path - C:\Users\JH\Pictures. As the pictures and videos size grew, my laptop internal hard drive was running out of space. As I moved the default
directory path "video project" to external drive, added the new external path D:\backup\pictures and removed the default path from Source, I would assume Photo will continue to pick up the original video project data from the new path to the external drive.
Unfortunately, Photo apps doesn't seem to function accordingly to pick up the video project folder from external drive, and it loses all the video projects that I worked for past two years.

Any recommendations and suggestions on how to get video project data recover are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Jason

 

WIndows 10 Photos and network drives

Windows 10 Photo app is not accessing photos on my network drive. I have selected the drive in Photos Settings but the drive does not appear in the Folder tab (ie amongst the tabs Collection Albums Video projects People Folders). Does anyone have any
suggestions? Strangely it works on my Surface Pro book but not on my Studio. Thanks
