Apps Add or Remove Favorites in OneDrive Photos app in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to add and remove image files as Favorites in the OneDrive Photos app for your account in Windows 11.

OneDrive includes a photos experience included with the OneDrive app on Windows 11. It brings the photo experience you already have on OneDrive web and mobile to the Windows desktop, so your photos feel consistent everywhere you use OneDrive.

In OneDrive Photos you can:

• Browse your OneDrive photos or photos stored on your PC together in the Gallery, a single timeline sorted by the newest photo first.
• Search by what's in your photos, not only by file name. On a Copilot+ PC, search also covers photos stored locally.
• Find photos of specific people in People or filter Gallery by people you've named.
• Revisit highlights from your library in Moments, where OneDrive surfaces collections from your history automatically.
• Create Albums, mark Favorites, and edit photos directly in the photos experience.
• Add local folders and use Windows actions with any photo: set it as your desktop background or lock screen, print it, or open it in File Explorer.

You can add your favorite images in the OneDrive Photos app to the Favorites area to make it easier to find them later, and remove them Favorites later when wanted.

The OneDrive Photos (Preview) app is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Experimental, Experimental (26H1), and Experimental (Future Platforms).
