Any other Windows 10 users having issues with the Photo App?

My one either will close immediately after opening or will crash shortly after usually with in a minute. No error message nothing *poof* gone. I have tried all sorts to fix it.
I am going to try to remove the App and reinstall to see if it resolves the issue. It is really annoying

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

reinstalling the Photos App made no difference what so ever, it still crashes. The App is not fit for purpose in my view and situation.

nathan: are you receiving app updates OK?

All fully updated and the OS is fully patched

Irfan View looks like a refugee from Windows 95

No problems here with the photo app. But I use Picasa by choice!

I like Picasa but its IU is messy, I like the no fuss look of the native Windows viewer but its a POS

I had a similar problem with some apps crashing when not running full screen.

Try running it full screen and see if there is a difference.

You can also try deleting all app cache data from here:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX\LocalCache\

I have tried those options but will try again

Thanks for that

No problems at all with the Win 10 Photo Viewer and I use it several times per day on average. You mentioned that you're getting messages about the Graphics Adaptor not responding so I would be looking in that direction. Maybe the driver for your Graphics Card has problems, or maybe the Graphics Card itself.

We have 5 PCs here running Windows 10 and not one of them had any problems with the Photo Viewer.

I have the latest graphics drivers from AMD installed, but I will check them again.

Seems a conflict between the video driver and this app. If you have latest ATI Graphics Drivers maybe consider rolling back to a prior version.

The AMD site confirmed that I had the latest drivers installed. I decided to download and install the latest Beta drivers etc. Installed and the Photo App has been running stable for about 2 hours so fingers crossed
