    Photos App Can't Access User Folder Data​


    Photos app does not show any picture, doesn't refresh, although picture folder is added to it. Film & TV, Grove Music also has the same problem. Where opening any File which use windows app to play or view manually using Explorer can be done without any Problem. I have repaired Registry, reset windows store, uninstalled apps using Powershell, , Reinstalled latest version, given permission of "C:\user\Jash" to ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES, every Powershell Command that I found on websites and YouTube including "sfc /scannow" & DISM tool, Still no Change. Installed Registry Fixing software too, but no use. And my disadvantage is I can't update my PC due to limited internet access. Also I have a Problem that i can't visit My Friend due to COVID-19 crisis, As he has better internet connection where is can update my system. Is there any Fix or i should wait for Windows 10 2004 Update. Because I had tried as many fixes available on as many website i can access.​

    Hi Ralph & Barbara,

    We suggest that you reset Windows Photo app. Follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photo_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
    • Delete all the contents of the folder.
    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Updating folder path in Windows 10 Photo App

    After several weeks work putting together a holiday video using the Windows 10 Photo App when I now open the app it can no longer find any of my photos. Every file in the Storyboard shows the sad emoticon and a message stating "We can't find this file".

    I have tried all of the obvious steps of updating Settings -> Sources to include the folder containing all the source material (E:\Photos)

    Being understandably reluctant to give up completely on my work I discovered that the file format is SQLite and so managed to open the database using DB Browser for SQLite. The table Folder reveals the list below. I have tried various SQL scripts to try to correct the references to point to E:\Photos, all of which have failed.

    When first opening the database to view the folders I also receive a message stating I have missing collating sequences. I've been told this is because the database is using collating sequences that are missing in DB Browser.

    Can anyone please suggest how to correct the references in the database so that Windows 10 Photo App is able to find my photos?

    Windows 10 Photos App Not Displaying all Photos and Folders

    I've been trying to research this issue and have tried a number of fixes. Here is the situation:

    • I am using a network drive for my photos
    • "Collection" will not show all of my photos - many are missing.
    • If I go to "Folders" view:
      • Some will show only a subset of the photos.
      • Others will not show any photos at all.
      • Several folders don't show up at all (yet if I search for them in the search bar, they do)
    • If in Windows Explorer I click on any of the missing photos or folders, they all open with no issues with the photos App

    I have tried a number of fixes:

    • I have used the windows app troubleshooter
    • I reset the photos app
    • I have added and removed the folders in the photos app settings
    • I uninstalled and re-installed the photos app
    • I "refreshed" folders within the app
    • I changed permissions for the photos folder
      • Added SYSTEM to all sub-folders and files
    In all I have spent hours trying to get this to work - and its not. I really want to use the photos app to manage my extensive library of family photos. Any other suggestions to get this to work? Is this a known issue with Windows 10 Photos App?

    Thank You!
