I tried t set up my pictures in Windows 10 as I had them in Windows 7 (by month) and did the steps provided in the answer (see below) but when I look in the libraries, there is only November 2019 under Pictures. I have pictures on my PC from 2001. where id they go and how can I arrange them by month.


1. Click Start, type File Explorer, and then press Enter.

2. On the File Explorer window, click the View tab.

3. On the Panes

4. Expand the Libraries folder and click Pictures.

5. Right-click on an empty space on the view pane where you can see your photos and select Arrange by > Month.

ribbon, click Navigation pane, and then select Show libraries.


They are all in the pictures folder but not in libraries. How can I fix this? I have well over 7K pictures!

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
