Windows 10: Windows Photo wont play created videos

I used to love the windows photos app with the video editor. I real genuine rival to Apple's iMovie.

Until I started get bugs.

First, all my video projects disappeared.

Then, I can not create video projects.

I can make them but when I press play, it plays 1 secs then hangs. It doesn't crash, as I can still use the app.


I've tried everything to fix this:

-Updating the app and windows store

-Resetting the app

-Running the windows store troubleshooter

-Uninstall and reinstalling windows photo

-Resetting my windows version to original


BUT. NOTHING. WORKS.


PLEASE HELP. Losing the will to live.
