    Windows 11 Photo App


    WHERE IS THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL? WHY IS IT THIS HARD TO FIND OUT HOW TO USE THIS APP? I've just lost 2 hrs on my project due to this and I'm not a happy camper at the moment.I have zillions of photos on my hard drive. PRIOR TO UPGRADING TO 11, I COULD simply move photos from my iPhone to my folders under Pictures Folder into my desired sub-folder on my computer hard drive. With Win-11 I'm lost. I just uploaded 14 iphone images into Photos but I cannot access them - cannot select and copy them - NOR CAN I ORGANIZE THEM as I am used to doing. I don't want this black-box app forcing me

    :)

  2. WINDOWS 10 MICROSOFT PHOTO APP

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The Photos app brings together pictures from all your devices using OneDrive, so that you can browse them by date, album or folder. It also automatically enhances photos, and creates albums for you, to showcase your best shots.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

    • Go to settings and system.
    • Click on Default Apps and select the appropriately.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to reinstall Photo app using the PowerShell command
    and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.

    • Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell in the search bar.
    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    • Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.

    •   get-appxpackage  *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

  4. Windows 11 Photo App

    Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

    Hello,

    It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
    Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • On the Start menu, select Settings.
    • Go to System, then go to Default apps.
    • Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
      Photo viewer.

    Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
