Microsoft Windows Photos installation problem, How to reinstall photos

Question

Hello sir, I’m suffering from this problem, what to do next ?

I have an issue. I have tried to reinstall Microsoft Photos using Windows Powershell, that didn't work I tried using the Microsoft store website because I can't open the app and that didn't work because when I click the button it doesn't respond. Can someone please help I have been trying to fix this issue for a few days now and I have found nothing.

Also this is my first ever post, I have resorted to asking people online instead of just trying to find other people asking because none of that has worked. Sorry if the tags are wrong, I'm not sure how to work them. Thanks.

Hi,
Firstly, I suggest that you could sign out Microsoft Account and sign in again.
Then please try the command below :
https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-the-photos-app-in-windows-10/
Please try the following command line:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_15.1208.10480.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"}

We could run "Get-AppXPackage" to check the all the apppackages information. Replace the file location with the one you want to reinstall.

Here is a command line to register all the store apps.

"Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"

Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
Best Regards,
Carl
