Uninstalling the MS Photo app
I have two laptops. On one of them, running windows 10, S0H2, the photos app will not show albums from One Drive. It will display new albums, and I can create new albums and upload them to OneDrive, but it will not show me the over 1200 albums I have on OneDrive. I've reset the app and that doesn't help. I can't uninstall the app as the uninstall feature is "grayed" out and doesn't work. I'd llike to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it working properly. Does anyone know a way I can do that? Thanks for your help Ken

Microsoft wirelesss display adapter
I have used it for a few years with only one problem and support fixed this problem. It happened with a Windows 10 update. Support fixed the issue for me and now I am having the same problem since KB4524570. All support did was disable my firewall and it connected.
