When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

 

Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?

 

Camera Query

It's normal, the camera app is trying to be helpful. It draws a blue box around any faces it can recognise in the image. If you actually take a photo there will be no box included, it's just there as an 'aid' while composing the photo..

You can test that this is what's happening by holding your hand to your face to cover one eye. The facial recognition will fail and the box will disappear. Take your hand away and it will reappear.

I see no setting to turn it off, but if you switch the camera from 'Take photo' to 'Video' it will not use facial recognition.
