In the Photos app, at the top-right corner, click the three dots.

Click the three dots menu at the top-right corner of Photos.

From the three-dots menu, select “Settings.”

Select "Settings" from the three-dots menu in Photos.

Scroll the “Settings” screen down to the “Microsoft OneDrive” section. Here, toggle off the “Show My Cloud-Only Content From OneDrive” option.

Note: In the future, to unhide OneDrive images in Photos, simply toggle on the “Show My Cloud-Only Content From OneDrive” option again.

Turn off "Show My Cloud-Only Content From OneDrive" in Photos.
