P: (MS App Store Version) Message: Some photos were not added. Unable to copy file.

Exact same issue. 

On Windows 10.
When I click on "Add Photos" then select the photos to add from the folder explorer all of the thumbnails appear to load. Once all of the thumbnails are select, from there I hit "Add # Photos". Lightroom will add about 5 photos then say "Some photos were not added". I know it's not the photos because if I close and reopen Lightroom sometimes it'll add more photos. It seems very intermittent. 

Hello, I am being met with the same error message. I have tried various ways of importing, both from the SD device, as well as my PC's hard drive (running windows 10). I have also tried importing all 57 images at once, 10 at a time, 5 at a time, down to one by one. One by one, no photos get imported. 5 or 10 at a time, same result. When trying all 57, each time it would change, but it would add anywhere from 5-7 photos at random, say it was "unable to add" and "unable to copy" anywhere from 20-29 photos, leaving a varying amount of 20+ photos with no mention. Nothing has changed on my end, I have been using the same camera for years, newer and updated SD drivers/readers within the last year, same PC, same file format, etc. This is very frustrating as I have not found any solutions anywhere online.

NO, FOLDER NOT FOUND

Direct. Yes, that folder is present. (It is the one of the ones I delete when I broke sync bby deleting images and making local meta-data changes before it finished syncing).

Greetings,

As we continue our investigation we need to find out a couple of more items:

1.  Did you purchase from Adobe or the Microsoft Store?
2.  If you look for this folder (normally hidden) C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom CC  Is the folder present?

I have a photography business and am unable to import my photos! I have the SD card in my windows computer trying to import raw images. 

I had more issues on my laptop; I was also running into issues with multiple programming tools I use. I did not have the same issues on my desktop; I eventually tracked the problem to a silent error caused by McAfee's real time anti-cirus scanner. I had no issues with Norton or AVG.

Cannot add photos, and running into the same messages as others in this thread. I am on Windows 10, Version 20H2, OS Build 19042.1165, my computer is a Dell Inspiron 7573. LAst successful photos added to lightroom in August 2021. Running Lightroom 4.3 WAS x64 [ 20210526-1005-d4527c2 ] (May 26 2021), NGL Version: 1.25.0.7

Exact Steps to Reproduce:

1: start lightroom

2: click file > add photos

3: select photos from SD card or HD (error encountered using both ways)

4: review for import > add photos

5: it will occasionally import a few, but most show up with the error : unable to copy file

I can also recently subscribed to Lightroom and am being met with this error message upon trying to import any images. But now your comment will be help me.
