Do you have this bug in Windows 8 Photos app?


Recommended Posts

Hi there! I have this awful bug in the built in Photos app (RTM) and I had it in CP and also in RP. I tried to find a solution, but the moderators at the offical MS forums gave those stupid answers like reinstall the app (did not work) or reinstall windows (this is a fresh install so it did not work). Did you experience this bug also? Could you fix it somehow?

I registered just to say I have the same exact issue and I was really hoping that by the RTM that it'd be ironed out. For me, it's on an Intel Core 2 Duo (1.33GHz) CPU, with GM45 chipset/ GPU.

It doesn't seem to happen with any photos taken on my cell phone, but anything taken with my digital camera has this problem. I also have the problem with 2560x1440 wallpaper that I downloaded off the internet, so it's not just my camera.

Link doesn't work and I'm still fuzzy on the details, are you saying that when you open up a picture in the photos app that you get a duplicated picture right next to the original?

The left half of the image is duplicated over the right half of it.

In other words, this:

xbzr5d.jpg

Becomes:

25knc7p.jpg

It only happens with higher resolution images though.

I don't have this bug, but I do have a bug where the facebook photos feature straight-up doesn't work. It doesn't let you click the connect or cancel buttons at all when setting up the facebook connnect.

I also don't have it.

Check the picture. It is duplicated.

Yes, I DO have this bug, since the Consumer Preview! I now use RTM and it's still there! The pictures are exactly as described... left half of the picture duplicated on the right side. It is definitely a bug, and certainly NOT 3D!

Another example of Microsoft releasing a product too soon.

This, by the way, happens of 2 different machines... a HP laptop and a Dell desktop! The 1st is new and the 2nd is old albiet with an up-to-date video card.

u sure its not linked to resolution restrictions in the app or possibly some data in the photo actually being wrong or your camerea storing data wrong? have u tried sending the exact same pictures to some one of us to see what happens? maybe your actual machine is at fault and it has nothing to do with the app? maybe the photo has corrupted?

Certainly in my case I can say absolutely that the pictures are fine in ANY other photo software; it's just in the Win8 app!

As to resolution, that should not present a problem in any app and if it does, it's a BUG!

As stated above, I have this problem on TWO different computers and, of course, the OP has the problem too... it's not down to faulty machines!

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
