2022-07-24T07:35:30+00:00 Just got a notification that Photos Media Engine Add-on has been installed before I could even check. But I don't find it in the list of installed Apps.
I see this, but I cannot find it in the list of installed Apps.
It is one of those that show up in the Store but not in Apps, like Windows Web Experience Pack for example.
Every time you open Photos for the first time it installs automatically.
I'm glad it is working for you now. 👍
Good night!

Thanks for the confirmation.
I have 2 systems 22622.436 installed on the same machine, one fails, and the other does not.
I compared all the hidden feature configurations and there are many different ones.
Who knows if the problem is caused by one of those or not?
