When opened, the Windows 10 Photos app automatically grabs your photos and places them on the screen in large thumbnails, sorted by the date you took them. That makes it easy to show off the latest vacation photos on a tablet, smartphone, or even a computer that’s hooked up to a TV or large monitor.
The app even performs subtle photo tweaks when showing them, enhancing the highlights and straightening those tilted horizons.
To launch the Photos app and start showing off your photos, follow these steps:
-
From the Start menu, click the Photos tile.
The Photos app quickly appears, shown in the following figure. The Photos app searches for photos in your computer’s Pictures folder, as well your OneDrive folders, and displays them one group, all in the order they were taken.
The Photos app also appears when you open a photo on the desktop’s File Manager.
The Photos app displays photos stored on your computer as well as on OneDrive. -
