How do I see photos in My Photo Stream?
Windows PC
When you turn on Photos, iCloud for Windows creates a Photos folder in File Explorer called iCloud Photos. My Photo Stream automatically downloads any new photos that you take on your iOS devices to the Downloads folder.
You can also use these steps to see your photos on your PC:
- Windows 10: Enter iCloud Photos in the Search the web and Windows bar. When you see it in the search results, select iCloud Photos Desktop app.
- Windows 8.1: From the Start screen, click in the bottom-left corner, then click iCloud >iCloud Photos app.
- Windows 8: From the Start screen, select iCloud Photos.
- Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button, then click Pictures. Click iCloud Photos or Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos. This also shows up as a folder in the window that appears.
Best regards.

I Have been using photo stream for a number of years, since the control panel 5.2 update pictures are not been flowing to my windows 7 PC. I have tried installing the control panel twice. I have logged in and out at least 10 times. in the past the login trick seemed to work, not this time. I have two pictures in the download folder before the upgrade to 5.2 but none since. i like photo stream but it seems to have this problem after every upgrade.
Hello Billyd11,
Since this seems to be a repeating issue and the steps in the article I provided haven't resolved the issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
Cheers.
