    When my 256g SSD filled up I had a 1TB SSD added to my laptop. I changed the default to save my photos in the new SSD, but windows keeps moving them somewhere else. How do I keep them in the new file folders I set up in the 1TB SSD. This is so annoying

    I am wanting to know how to move pictures from the Windows photo file to my computer photo file.

    Hi Trisha,

    • When you say, "Windows photo file" are you referring to Windows photo app?
    • When you say, "computer photo file" what exactly are you referring to?
    • Do you get any error message when you try to move?
    I suggest you to copy and paste the pictures and check if this helps.

    • Open the picture which you want to move, right click on it and select copy.
    • Go to the location where you want to move, right click and paste it.
    Write us back with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    Windows Photos app - "It appears that the file was moved or renamed" when scrolling through photos

    Hi,

    There are several reason why this issue occurs. This could be a possible settings issue on Windows Photo app. For the first step resolution, we suggest that you perform a

    System File Checker     to scan and repair a possible missing or corrupted system files.

    You may also try to reset the Windows Photo app by following the steps below:

    • Press windows button + R
    • Type: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
    • Delete all the contents of that folder

    Note: If you follow the Windows Photo app reset it will go back to its original state. To avoid missing or corrupted files, we recommend that you backup the files.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.
