I'm not sure what happened but usually I can download pics from sd card and they go to a folder with the date.  Now each pic is saved individually.  How can I get it back to the way it was before.

    Have you used different device or make changes to your Camera setting?

    Are you referring to way it has been sorted there?

    You may right click on the folder and click on Sorted by and select the way you want it to be sorted.

    I have the same problem. Any time I try to import photos, everything gets dumped into the Pictures folder. Prior to the last Windows update, it would sort the pics into a folder by date (e.g., 2020-09, 2020-10, 2020-11, etc.).

    I haven't changed any of the settings on my computer.

    before i would insert sd card  I would save photos they would go straight to folder with the date i took the pictures.  now they are single pics, each pic has its own thumbnail instead of being in a folder.

    Just to clarify , it is like seeing all photo in one folder, is that correct?

    You could sort them with date and in case you open then in Photo app, they have been sorted by date , so there shouldn't be any issue.

    However, in case you concern about this change, you may share it through Feedback Hubapp.
