Did the security update for Monterey to both computers and on one of them all of a sudden the random selection of desktop background is gone. When I look, the file that I was using shows nothing in to - but of course you can see them in Photos. In fact, just about the only photo is one of my daughter. Other computer is just fine.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.
Copy the report
and use the Additional Text button to paste the report in your reply.
Then we can evaluate the report to see if we can determine the cause of the problem.
I know how to do it. I’m saying that the Desktop portion of System Preferences is not seeing albums in Photo, just shows them as empty. It will show a few photos, maybe ten, and that is it? This started after upgrading to Monterey! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Since Library is just a series of folders, I did that when clicking on the Library folder. Nothing.. Also will not boot into Safe Mode. I believe I'm at the point of reinstalling the operating system
Apple keeps proving that Im right about totally disliking updates! Now the apps mail, calendar and safari is getting stuck too. I needed to quit the apps couple times =( so great when you are busy and Mac decides to take break! Mine is a studio one, but iPhone is getting crazy too!

Was it there before the installing of Monterey 12.5.1 ( Security Update ) ?
When I click on anything under photos, like favorites or any of our albumns, just one picture of our daughter.
Was it there before installing Monterey 12.5.1 ( Security Update ) ?
From what older version of Monterey was the 12.5.1 applied to ?
Have you tried repairing the library by opening it with the Option+Command keys held down?
Finally had the time and just reinstalled Monterey and everything seems to be back to normal.
