================================== Maybe renaming the Pictures.pd4 database to Pictures.OLD would allow the files to be reimported.
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\ Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4
The file can also be found with an Advanced Search for pd4.
Go to...Start / Search / Advanced Search.
Check the box..."Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files" Enter pd4 in the Name field and left click the Search button.
If you catalog lots of images, making regular backup copies of your Pictures.pd4 file would be an excellent idea.
If corruption develops, just replace the current ..pd4 file with your backup. If you have to restore your system or move the images to a different computer...the original locations of the images would need to be duplicated.
