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

    Hi ghostanime2001,

    Just trying to make a thing clear here. You need to run the command only when the import wizard is running and throws an error.

    After running the command, click on "Retry" in the error dialog.

    I did not try that. Thanks for pointing out that little unfortunate error by me. I am wondering what does photo import wizard has anything to do with the temporary folder?

    Pls note: The forum software doesn't email notify if a post has been edited. I happened to check this post by accident and saw your updated response.

    Also, make sure to disable the option "Delete files from the device after importing" (is a safety measure) before starting the Import.

    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.

    I received an error while inputting the command line code:
