Hi Bill,
Try “Force Quitting” the Photos app by clicking “Force Quit,” which is under
the Apple Icon in the menu bar (Apple Menu > Force Quit ), highlighting the
Photos app icon in the pop-up window and clicking the “Force Quit” button.
Then shut down the computer and wait for a few minutes.
Power the computer back up and open Photos. See if your Photos app seems to be
working fine, and updates the library with photos taken recently.
Kind Regards,
Ronni
