If you haven't already, first thing to try is a restart and/or forced restart:

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, then the next step would most likely be a restore from backup:

My fault I see as I left out the important part. I meant the pictures were uploaded to my Windows 10 computer and now show up as icons with the numbers and letters below. Sorry about the mix up.
