how to click next to view pictures in a folder?

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I don't see this information anywhere else:
I've found using certain symbols, like (parentheses), on folders can cause the photos app to act up, however it's inconsistent. Images within file names like '(Folders)' or 'Fol(ders)' somewhere within the file chain makes the app not work properly sometimes. Removing the symbols to just 'Folders' correct this problem.
I have used other symbols like Ω for organizational purposes and they seem to break the app as well. I haven't looked into what works and what doesn't, but this does seem to be the overall answer as to why you cant scroll through photos.

Not sure if this is solved or not.
On my Win 10 system I have to place my mouse on the left or right side of the picture to get the arrow to show. If its the first picture in a folder only the right (Next) arrow shows up, and if its the last picture only the left (Previous) arrow shows up.

Yeah, we are saying that the arrow will not be there even when it should.
But thanks

Mouse wheel should display next picture on down scroll, previous one on up scroll. Just a little of the wheel is sufficient.

This is the default photos app in windows 10.

The arrows not showing up is the symptom of the problem. The underlining issue is not being able to scroll through the rest of the images by clicking, scrolling, or using arrow keys. The app treats it like that image is the only file in the folder, despite there being more. No matter which photo you open within that file the problem persists.

Have you Opened the folder, selected all the photos in the folder, Then right click the first one and choose Open? That's what I do, and it gives me the arrow. If I don't, If I just left click on a picture, it won't give me an arrow to view the other photos.

That does work, though I'm curious as to why this bug happens.

In the image provided is two instances on the same file pathway but renamed:
the first is C:\Users\Ivy\Pictures\.art\INKS\Charles Dana Gibson
and the second C:\Users\Ivy\Pictures\art\INK\Charles Dana Gibson
PrtScn doesn't capture my mouse, but it's hovering where the left arrow should be on both instances.
I had to drop the period in art and the 's' in INK for it to actually work debunking my symbol theory.
But dropping the first instance '.art\INKS\Charles Dana Gibson' onto the desktop works just fine.

It's not a huge issue and I can just rename my files. I just wanted to give information to anyone that might stumble onto this thread as I had.
