The built-in Photos app in Windows 11 remains black after opening.
Microsoft Photos app suddenly malfunctioning: The window goes completely black (no image, no interface elements) when opening any photo. The issue persists even after resetting the app to default settings via “App Settings.” Image file corruption has been ruled out. Seeking alternative solutions.

The black screen issue with the Microsoft Photos app can be caused by various factors, including corrupted app data, outdated drivers, conflicts with other software, or system issues. Since you've already tried resetting the app.
