Hi,Just had this new laptop running windows 8 and its an Acer.
When I select the photos tile on the screen it goes to another screen which is black with a blue square icon and underneath it tells me that there are no files or folders in this view.There are photos in my picture folder as I just put then in.But if I go to the other method and select the My picture folder the photos are there.
Any Help Please.

Hello tankid, and welcome to Eight Forums. :)

By default, the modern Photos app opens to your Pictures library.

Unless you have your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Pictures" folder added to the Pictures library, the pictures in your Pictures user folder will not show in your Pictures library.

Double check to make sure that the folder your pictures are in are added to your Picture library, then check to see if they show up afterwards when you open the Photos app.
