I'm having trouble with Photos on the Mac. Every picture synced from iCloud the last week shows as a grey exclamation point. I can see the thumbnail fine. If I open the picture I can sometimes see the full picture for a split second before it reverts to an exclamation point.

I've tried using repair database. To no avail. It runs the repair but doesn't fix the problem.

I've tried switching from optimize storage to download originals. Didn't work.

I've tried to rotate. Rotate is greyed out.

The pictures show up fine all all other iCloud synced Macs and iOS devices.

Mac Pro 3,1
El Capitan latest OS and Photos updates installed

All other devices on High Sierra and iOS 11 with latest updates installed.
