Windows 10 Photos App
Try running this in an elevated PowerShell window:
Get-AppXPackage *Photos* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Thanks, Brian, I tried as you suggest but get an error:
'Get-AppXPackage' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Secondly must the elevated Get-AppXPackage *Photos* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} be run from any specific folder?
No, not from any particular folder...but it does need to be in an elevated PowerShell window not just a CMD window
I did as you suggested, and it runs okay. I rebooted PC, before trying Photos again.Photos app appears to start, followed by a black screen and then closes and returns to desktop.
I then uninstalled Photos using the IoBit Widows App Uninstaller, rebooted, and, then ran your routine again. Tried Photos and whilst it seems it almost gets going, it shows a black screen followed by returning to the Desktop. Something must be wrong somewhere else, unfortunately!!!
