Images Not open in Windows 10 Photos AppUninstall Windows 10 Apps: Page: on twi. Tried to open Photos but got following message: Photos cannot find the System Photo Library named “Photos Library.photoslibrary” Checked and no “Photos Library.photoslibrary” file was present in Pictures folder. Restarted Photos and chose to open the 75GB “Photos Library.photoslibrary” on the old/now external HD but got following.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues opening a Photos library. I’ll be happy to help with this.
It sounds like you’ve done some good troubleshooting so far. I know you mentioned you’re on macOS Catalina but please make sure you have the most recent version installed:
If it still won’t open, ensure you have a backup or copy of the library saved to another drive before moving forward. Once you’ve done that, go through the steps in this link to check the permissions Photos library but do not go through the steps under ‘If the issue persists’:
Boot into safe mode after that if you still have issues:
While in safe mode, press and hold the Options key while opening Photos and select the library you’re having issues with. Then press and hold the Command and Option keys while clicking Choose Library. This will attempt to repair the library while in safe mode. See if the issue is resolved then.
Regards.

The ultimate toolbox for Photos on your Mac
PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, providing an array of tools to help you get your photo collection in order.
Create and manage multiple libraries
Instead of being limited to putting all your photos in a single library, PowerPhotos can work with multiple Photos libraries, giving you many more options for how to organize your ever growing photo collection.
Splitting your photos between multiple libraries helps Photos open more quickly, lets you archive older photos, store some of your collection on an external hard drive, and reduce storage space used by iCloud Photo Library.
Copy photos and their metadata
You can split your library by copying albums and photos with a simple drag and drop. PowerPhotos will take care of copying the photos and retaining their metadata, including keywords, descriptions, titles, dates, and favorite status. Read more about what PowerPhotos can copy.
Merge Photos libraries
Got a whole bunch of libraries you want to consolidate into one? PowerPhotos lets you merge your libraries together while weeding out duplicate photos in the process. You will be shown a preview of what your merged library will look like before any modifications are done, to ensure your merged library looks how you want.
Find duplicate photos
It's easy to have multiple copies of the same photo creep into your photo collection over time. Use PowerPhotos to find duplicate photos in one or more libraries, view them side by side, and separate them into albums where you can easily delete them from your library.
Browse and search
Use PowerPhotos' image browser to quickly view your photos without having to open Photos itself. View detailed photo information using List View, and search for photos across all your libraries at once.
Migrate your iPhoto/Aperture libraries
If you have a lot of existing iPhoto or Aperture libraries that you want to migrate over to Photos, PowerPhotos will help automate your migrations so you don't have to spend time babysitting this lengthy process.
