Windows 10: Photos destination not working.

I have a couple of issues with importing photos from a device. Previously, when I imported photos the program would create a folder for them with the month and year in the folder name. This was very convenient, as I could easily find the photos. However, recently, this has gone wrong and it just puts them in the "photos" folder, making them impossible to find. Also, the "change destinations" link does not work. Nothing happens when I click on it, so I can't even manually create a folder with the month and year and import into it. This is extremely inconvenient, as it is difficult to tell which photos have just been imported, so I can manually move them.


Is there any way of fixing these faults?

importing photos

Thank you for clearing that out. It looks like you are importing the files using the Photos app. When you import photos using this app, the files get imported into your Pictures library. To view these files, refer to these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• On the list of folders on the left side of the window, click on Pictures. You shall see the photos imported from the SD card using the Photos app.

Another option you have is to import the files solely using File Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

• Connect the SD card into the computer.
• Launch File Explorer.
• Click on This PC.
• Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.
• Double-click on the SD card.
• Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose
  Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select
  Paste (Ctrl + V).
• If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.
• If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.

Once you're able to get the hang of the tricks, importing photos will not be a challenge anymore.
