Build 22621.436 and 22622.436 out to Beta Channel Insiders

It is the same exact App version in 22000.795 and 22621.232, but only fails with 22622.436. 🤐

Same version recently installed is working fine here for me on a VMware VM. 🤷‍♂️

edit: do you have the Photos Media Engine Add-on installed?

Hi Sibro,

What a coincidence! I just upgraded a box from 22000.832. to 22622.436 and it works fine on this machine. 😉

Maybe it was something caused by the previous updates to 22621.160 and 22621.290.

This one went directly from 22000.832 to 22621.436 and then to 22622.436 just on next W.U. that added the enablement pack.

MS acknowledged the problem, maybe they fixed something already. 🤣🤷‍♂️

I still have the failing system in dual boot, I will give it a try in a minute.

Could be also some of those random features that they keep enabling and disabling without telling us anything. 🤐

Where do I see that add on?

@Sibro.o,

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.

We'll see if it makes any difference. 🤷‍♂️

Still the same, not crashing on this system, I'll try the other one.

I see this, but I cannot find it in the list of installed Apps.

i noticed something on your screenshot.

why does m$ still do this?

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!

Hi Sibro,

Tried the other system previously updated from 22622.290 to 22622.436 and Microsoft Photos still crashes the same as it did before. 🤬

On this one the add-on was already modified on 7/21/2022. 🤷‍♂️
