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.

    Thanks to everyone who has brought this frustrating issue to Microsoft's attention. I'm doing historical research ...  and manually creating folders, then moving images into them, has become a hugely time consuming activity. I'm exploring my Apple options after decades as a Microsoft user.

    Yes that's exactly what the problem is and it's driving me crazy. I know about the change destination but that means you still have to go and manually create a folder and it used to do it automatically and I have no idea why it doesn't and it looks like no one has the answer here. It must be from that last update.

    But, nyytecrawler, even that isn't a fix unless you upload your pictures EVERY DAY. For those of us that might have a week's worth of photos, we have to go in after they upload and figure out which ones go where. Absolutely garbage.

    In case this NOT a behavior you like, you may open start and search for feedback and open Feedback Hub app and share your concern, make sure elaborate like how it used to be and how it has been changed and why you don't like this new improvement.

    "why you don't like this new improvement."

    It is not an improvement and no one could possibly imagine it was an improvement to dump all the photos unorganised in the picture folder when you could previously save them in date order folders which were automatically created within pictures. Dropping this feature suggests there is no proper oversight of changes being made. That Microsoft removes features with little or no consideration for the end users.
