I do test every solution before I post them here. For now, you may make use of that command-line. If you need a script, I'll see if I can create one tmw.

Hello, when I use windows 10 explorer's import pictures and videos on my galaxy s8, the import wizard shows up but they all have the wrong photo which is different from whats showing within android. For some reason, the import pictures and video wizard doesn't detect more than 4k files even thought I have alot more than 4k files. Also, even though the folder to where the pictures/videos are being imported to is empty, windows still shows this error:
how do i fix/reset windows 10 explorer's import pictures and videos ? Thank you

2022-09-12T16:34:08+00:00 The tool doesn't clear old temp files, and that's causing a name collision.
Workaround:
Each time you see the "error occurred... try again" dialog, open a Command Prompt window and type:
- del "%temp%\acq*.tmp.*" /a
Keep the CMD window on standby and rerun the command every time you see the error dialog. This will *significantly* reduce the number of times the error appears.
An even more effective method is to run a script that deletes older tmp.* files in that folder at every 5 sec interval.
How can I make the script ? Have you tested this to see if this works ?

2022-09-11T20:06:51+00:00 Photos app doesn't do what windows 10 explorer's import pictures and video does, namely this:
Photos app is missing the original photo import wizard options which to my disappointment didn't transfer over to the new photos app. I have even sent a microsoft feedback regarding this issue. Without preserving folder while transferring files, I do not feel the need nor have interest to use the photos app whatsoever for any photo import/organization. This is why I insist on using the original windows 7 style windows import pictures and videos method.
