Question asked on Jul 15, 2016
Is anyone else confused by this? I"m trying to organize my photographs on Windows 10. They show up in three different places: the Photos app, the Photo Gallery App, and Pictures. Isn't this kind of redundant? I understand that I can use the Photos app to organize the photographs I have in pictures. Why do I even need the Photo Gallery app and why are all my photographs showing up in Photo Gallery too? So confusing.
