I have an HP AIO that has a built-in camera.
I've used that camera to take 3 pictures but cannot find them. I've searched every folder in my computer and even searched via Windows and cannot find them.
I've had an on-going interaction with Windows Community and everything they've suggested doesn't help.
I'd like to know where the pictures taken with the built-in camera are stored.
Thank you

Hi @khone,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.
I understand you're experiencing an issue with finding the pictures taken from the camera on your all in one PC.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.
To locate your pictures, try the following steps:
Check the Camera App Folder:
- By default, pictures taken with the Camera app are saved in the Camera Roll folder.
- Navigate to:
C:\Users[Your Username]\Pictures\Camera Roll
If the folder doesn't exist, it might have been moved or deleted.
Search by File Type:
- Open File Explorer and search for image file types like *.jpg, *.png, or *.jpeg.
- Set the search scope to "This PC" to scan your entire computer.
Review the Camera App Settings:
- Open the Camera app.
- Click on the gear icon (Settings) and look for the "Photos and Videos" section to check or change the default save location.
Check Recent Files:
- Open File Explorer, go to Quick Access, and check the "Recent files" section. Your photos may appear there if they were saved recently.
Check OneDrive (if enabled):
- If OneDrive is active, it might have saved your pictures. Open OneDrive and navigate to its Pictures folder.
