Part 3: How to Fix all Kinds of Photo Saving Errors on your Device?
Now when you know what could have caused these leading photo saving errors on your system, let’s get to know about some common ways to fix them.
Fix 1: Make Sure there is Enough Available Space on your System
A lot of times, our photos don’t get saved on our system due to low or unavailable space to accommodate them. Therefore, before you take any drastic measures to fix these photo saving problems, check the storage on your system.
You can just go to the settings of your computer and browse to its Storage Settings. From here, you can check how much space is being occupied on different partitions and what is consuming its storage.
If there is a lack of available space on your system, then you can remove some of its existing data, and create more storage for your photos.
Fix 2: Run the Windows Troubleshooter to Fix App-related Issues
If you think there is an issue with the Photos or any other app on your computer, then you can also run its troubleshooter. For instance, Microsoft offers an inbuilt troubleshooting feature that you can access for free on your computer.
To fix photo saving issues, just go to your system’s Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional Troubleshooters. From all the available options, just click on the “Windows Store App” button and start its troubleshooter.
You can now follow a simple stepwise wizard that would check all kinds of app-related issues on your system and will fix them subsequently.
Fix 3: Reset or Repair the Photos App on Windows 10
Most Windows users encounter these photo saving issues while working with the Photos app. To diagnose this, you can just go to your computer’s Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. From here, you can look for the Photos app and click on its Advanced Options.
As you will get all kinds of options related to the Photos app, you can scroll a little to find the Reset section. From here, you can choose to reset or repair the Photos app on your Windows PC.
In case you choose to repair the Photos app, then a new window would open that will let you fix the app. If you reset the Photos app, then all its existing settings would also be deleted.
Fix 4: Save your Photos to a Supported Format via MS Paint
While this might seem like a simple solution, it can help you fix most of the common photo saving issues. For instance, if you are trying to load the image with any incompatible application, then you can first convert the photo to any other format.
You can just launch the MS Paint application on your system and open any image on it. Now, just go to its Menu > Save As and choose to export the image as a JPG or PNG file.
In this way, you can save the image to a supported format (like JPG or PNG) and can easily open it with any other application later on.
Fix 5: Update the Firmware on your Windows PC
There could also be an issue with your Windows system, causing these photo saving errors. The easiest way to fix them is by updating your Windows PC to its latest stable version.

If there is an update available, then click on the “Download and Install” button and wait for a while as it would set up the update on your system. After installing the update, you can restart your system in the normal mode and check if it fixes these photo saving issues or not.
