Windows 10: Windows thinks my entire Harddrive is the "official" pictures folder and I dont know how to...

I don't have a more eloquent way of putting this, in my attempt to move my Pictures folder to a new hard drive it seems that an entire drive was somehow set as the pictures folder? My intention was to backup all my folders on the Q: drive until I got a new E: SSD and then move them there. It worked for Desktop, Downloads & co but something went wrong with Pictures. I tried changing the "My Pictures" directory to the E: hard drive in the Reg Edit but that didnt work, even after rebooting.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Custom Folder Pictures dont work?

I think you have to live with it - some of the default folders thatn Windows likes to control itself are less customisable because they already have different pictures. It isn't anything wrong with your PC I don't think, but there might be a hack to get past it if someone knows.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
