Has the enhance function in your Microsoft Photos App stopped working? It did for me for a few months. How did I fix it? Well, let’s take a look at why it might have stopped working.
1. There was a bug.
And if so, a Windows Update might come along later to fix it.
2. Your Photos app destroyed itself.
If so, you have to reset or reinstall the app. Try re-registering it first with PowerShell.
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
And if it doesn’t work, uninstall and reinstall using PowerShell.
get-appxpackage Microsoft.Windows.Photos | remove-appxpackage
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”
3. You need the Photos Media Engine package.
This is the one that worked for me. Go to the Microsoft Store and install the app. Here is the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/photos-media-engine-add-on/9plk42wd0rc0
