Microsoft Photos has been causing computer slowdowns for many Windows users.

Microsoft migrated the Photos app from UWP to Windows App SDK back in June .

As a result, the app has grown sluggish and takes longer to start than it used to.

As of this writing, only Windows 11 users on version 2024.11050.3002.0 are affected.
