iCloud photos download more than once

iCloud for windows does not fully download photos. It only downloads the low resolution versions. If you move or delete the downloaded photo it will download again. The only way to stop this is to double click on the photo. It will then download the full photo image and no longer download the photo additional times. This is the only way I have found to fix the duplicate photo download. iCloud for Windows needs to be fixed.

There are no duplicates on my iPhone 12, iOS 16.1.

I have 2,530 photos on my iPhone, and on my Apple iCloud and 2,530 on my Windows 11 PC.

No changes have been made on my iPhone or iCloud. They just suddenly appear on my PC. Usually 1-9 photos.

All photos and screenshots were taken with an Apple iPhone, the most recent ones with an iPhone 12 using iOS 16.1.

After taking the photos and screenshots they are uploaded to the Apple iCloud.

From there they download to my Windows 11 PC using iCloud for Windows.

Once downloaded I view them on my PC going to the default download folder.
