If you go to Settings -- Apps -- Microsoft Photos -- Advanced options, there are options to either Repair or to Reset the application. I did notice that when i Reset mine recently, the app began opening and functioning correctly again.

I'm just glad that I qualify for the senior discount now.

Used to have to carry an opener in the glove box for bottles and cans of pop. Can't go to the snack bar at the movies anymore without using a credit card. Too dangerous to carry that much cash!

Keep in mind that any hard drive can fail suddenly. From what I've read, if your SSD fails, it does so suddenly without warning. You absolutely should have a second backup plan with everything stored elsewhere, such as the cloud. I find that it's much faster to copy/paste rather than cut/paste files to the external drive when you have a lot to back up. You don't want to delete the originals until you are absolutely sure that they are backed up correctly. You can try one of the free cloud services right now without buying any new hardware. Upload some photos, then download them and see if the quality of the backup suits you.

That's the real problem. Everyone wants to get into heaven, but no one wants to die.
I remember a story once about NASA engineers talking to kids about the difficulty in designing a pen that would write in zero gravity. Then a young girl spoke up and said, "Why don't they just use a pencil?" The engineers just looked at each other, speechless.

Unfortunately, he dated me too. Just the mention of her brings miniskirts to mind.

Absolutely I agree. Too many doctors don't believe you when you tell them how bad the side effects are. Good doctors will switch prescriptions until finding the one that works without serious side effects. I had the same problem with statins, and my doctor agreed that the side effects were too severe, especially since my cholesterol levels weren't extremely high to begin with. Everyone reacts differently.

Too bad you didn't get it cloned. I'm so glad they figured out how to do that years ago, to take care of our cat shortage.

I once read that studies show taking a statin every day increases your life span by a little over 2 years, but owning a cat and petting it regularly increases your life span by 5 years. I wonder why my doctor doesn't prescribe cats?

I also note that the study was confined to people age 70 and older, and that is the group that the warning was meant for. Yet people tend to notice the headlines and assume it applies to everyone. I remember the first time that drug manufacturers began a campaign against aspirin. The miracle replacement was Tylenol. Of course, they had to switch their recommendation to other drugs when it was found that Tylenol could destroy your liver. Yet I still know people who overuse Tylenol because it takes more each year to control their pain. I use aspirin because it's cheap and it works and it has less side effects than other drugs, but i don't trust their studies.

They studied the effects of low-dose aspirin on HEALTHY people. You will find bad effects for healthy people for virtually every prescription drug there is. The drug companies have been trying to spread the dangers of aspirin for years, because they can't make any money off of it. Yet psychologists and physicians assistants are permitted to over prescribe a wide range of antidepressants, which are some of the most powerful drugs out there. It's all about making money for the drug companies.
