1408298 2015-09-12 04:17:00 Anyone else having problems with this new Photos app in Windows 10? It seems to have picked up every picture in every format on my machine, some of which I can't even open, and there seems no way to multiple select and delete them. Bloody frustrating to say the least. Any ideas will be welcome. Richard (739)
1408299 2015-09-12 05:42:00 Yep its a PITA -- When viewing a photo, I dont want to see every other one as well.

Simply go to a photo you have stored - Right click / Open With / Choose another App - and change to what you want, Eg: photo Viewer, at the bottom Tick " Always use this App to open ". Then after when you open photos they will open in what ever you have chosen instead of the Photo App.

You don't actually want to delete those images, just not show them in the Photos library. In the photos app, go to settings and then adjust the sources section to only pull photos into the library from folders you want it too.

1408301 2015-09-13 05:58:00 Thanks guys. I have isolated where all the unwanted images came from, it was from a backup drive which I have now isolated from this photos app. All I need to do now is get rid of all the crap images. Any suggestions on doing this? Richard (739)
