Windows 10: Unable to find albums in Photos app

As a photographer I don't want my photos stored as place, time, people. can't find things.


How can I get my photos back in my albums/files please?


The previous Photo Gallery program was far better than the new Apps. for me.




***Original title: Lost my albums as new photo apps destroyed them***

:)

 

Why did the photos app auto-create a random photo album?

The automatic album creation is a new feature:

(Source: Microsoft documentation.) It didn't add all the photos taken on that date because it thought some were too similar to others:

Date and time are definitely taken into account when grouping the photos; a CNET article suggests there might be more complex logic too:

The location would be determined from information embedded in the picture by the device that took it.

Concerning the uninvited appearance of the app: That seems to be a bug experienced by many people with the management of Universal app processes. For some, it's caused by a certain version of DisplayFusion.

  Go to any three options “Collection”, “Albums” and “Folders”.
  
• 
  Click on any “Photo” and press the key “F5” it will launch slide show.
