Microsoft need to update the photos app with a fix, that is the only way this will be resolved, there is nothing more we can do as users to fix this. Do not reinstall Windows either, it will not solve your issue. I'm really getting fed up with advisors posting this when there are a lot of threads on this now. If that didn't work try other options provided in this thread. Then type following command and press Enter key: Open Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator. My name is Jan an independent Microsoft Advisor and a user like you. I've tried literally every option for troubleshooting (reset, uninstall, sfc /scannow, etc.) and none of them have worked, Ik that i could try a fresh Windows install but I really don't wanna reinstall my entire OS just for one program.

Windows 10 - Microsoft Photos app won't openīasically, anytime I try to open a photo, it says 'The app didn't start'
