    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.

    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.

    How to change the date taken date of a folder of old scanned photos. WIndows 10

    windows 10 changes ‘date taken’ date.

    Windows photo editor 10 has changed the date taken date to when I modified the photo with edits. How do I get original “date taken “date back.
