Windows 10: Does the Photo App not like old photos? It changes the Date Taken if it is more than 100...

I noticed that the Microsoft Photo app is changing the "Data Taken" field if the date is old. I have scanned pictures from my parents and grandparents and used the file properties/details tab to set the Date Taken field. Some of these pictures are from the 1910 to 1920 range. When I view them just viewing, not editing with the Photo's app, the Date Taken is displayed as 1/1/1923. If I check the file properties/details I see that the EXIF data has been changed to 1/1/1923. If I set it again e.g., a data in 1917, do other things, and look again with file properties, the date is still cor

Photos not displayed by Taken Date

I've scanned photos into my laptop and used File Explorer to correct the Taken Date. I file them by Year and some Years have Folders for Month. Some of them have been changed and refiled.

The Photo app doesn't display them by Taken Date.

File Explorer has a Folder for My Photos 1969, but photos moved from My Photos 1968 to My Photos 1969 and Taken Date changed to 1969 still are displayed in 1968.

I'm using Win 10 and it's up to date.

Photo App ignoring Date Taken of pictures

I file my Pictures in folders for Year. Within the Year, pictures are filed by Date Taken.

When I open the Photo App, the pictures are listed by Year, but not in Date Taken sequence.

Win 10 up to date

Photos not displayed by Taken Date

You missed something.

When I scanned the photos I erroneously identified them as 1968 and filed them in a folder (such as 01-1968) in a folder 1968 in Pictures. When I realized the wrong year, I changed the Taken Date of each photo to 1969, renamed the folder 01-1969 and moved
it to a folder 1969 in Pictures.

File Explorer lists everything correctly., but the Photo app still displays the photos as 1968.
