Windows 10: Photo Orientation on Old Scanned Photos is Wrong and Corrections Do Not Last

I loaded some old scanned photos from a thumb drive into my new computer with Microsoft 11 Home. The original scanned photos were scanned in 2008-2009.

streamed photo orientation

I keep photos, videos, documents files on an external hard drive attached to my Windows 10 PC. When I view the photos on the PC, through both the Photos app or Windows Media Player, the orientation is correct.

When I use WMP to stream the photos to my Roku Ultra and view them on the attached television, the orientation for some photos is incorrect. When I use Mezzmo to stream the photos the orientation remains correct for all of them.

Any ideas on why WMP streaming displays some photo orientations incorrectly, while Mezzmo streaming always retains the correct orientation?

I keep both WMP and Mezzmo streaming available since sometimes one of them works while the other does not. I am not sure why this may happen at different times.

thank you

 

scanning old photos
