Windows 10: Windows Photos - lost all my albums after hiding files

I used the hide file feature of a lot of my photos, and now they don't appear in any of my windows photo albums, even AFTER I click 'show hidden files' within my files app. Is there a solution to this?

Windows 10 Album lost on photo app on PC

Hello,

It is possible that the photos added to the album haven't loaded properly when the app was launched, or that the album was not saved prior to shutting down the computer. Before we proceed, we would like to get some information about the lost photos from
your album in Photos app. Kindly respond to the questions below:

• We would like to confirm if you have saved the album before shutting down the computer.
• Are you able to view your other albums? Does the photos appear from those albums?
• Have you attempted to wait for the photos to appear? This could be due to the data have not yet synced.

We look forward to your response.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Could you please briefly explain the procedure that you have followed to setup an album using Windows 10?
   
2. Which application are you using to display the album?
   
3. Which version of Windows is running on your device?
   

Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running
to provide the details.



If you’re referring to Photos app, I suggest you to refer the section “Help the app find more photos” from the article
See all your photos
for the steps.





Hope it helps.
