My current laptop is one year old, has an i7 proc, and 16GB RAM. It's not a resource issue.
I have long used the Windows built-in application for viewing pictures. Starting with Windows 10 and now 11, I have fully leveraged Photos to view, make quick edits, and compare.
Something's changed and it's incredibly frustrating. One of my quickest "go-to's" is to pull up the first image, arrow right to each subsequent photo, and then delete the ones I don't need - e.g., blurry photos, duplicates, etc. I also will rotate images accordingly from portrait to landscape or vice versa. These two steps have ALWAYS WORKED.
Now on every PC (not just my laptop but even my "beefier" desktop) it does the same thing:
* If I delete a pic and arrow back to that image, it shows it still for just a moment. It might say, "Image_2-2.jpg has been deleted," but it still shows that image until it decides to no longer show it. This can take several minutes and absolutely slows me down when comparing images.
* If I edit an image name - say, take Image_2, edit it, and rename that Image_2a - it no longer shows Image_2 and then sequentially Image_2a. It literally just skips over any edits. So it'll show me Image_2, Image_3 and Image_4 in order, but it'll conveniently skip Image_2a, 3a, etc. It should literally show (and always has) Image_2, Image_2a, Image_3, Image_3a, etc. So frustrating.
* It often doesn't even show the next sequential photo when arrowing right. So it might jump from Image_1 to Image_5 and then back to Image_4. What the heck??
* Sometimes when I try to open an image, I'll receive the spinning wheel for several seconds. No rhyme or reason. No resources being chewed up. Just spins. If I refresh, reboot or whatever, all of these activities stay the same.
One person in a post said her workaround was to select all, right-click and select Open, and then arrow through each pic. Although this semi-works, it's not normal behavior, has its owns issues, and is cumbersome.
Does ANYONE have a solution? Why mess with a good thing??
