Windows 10: Wrong Date in Windows Library

Hello all,

I have created a windows library for my photos, in which I gather 2-3 folders of all my photos to keep them together and easily reviewed.
After I imported some photos to a OneDrive folder, due to cloud switch (from Dropbox to OneDrive), I found out that many photos where shown at completely wrong dates in the "arrange by month" / "arrange by day" view. I checked immediately my photos' metadata to figure if they had lost their original "date modified" attribute, but they all were ok. So, I figured that even if my files had correct "date modified" in the library the reported "date modified" value for many, not all (about 1/4 of all), my photos and videos that are located into OneDrive was different, hence wrong.
This was my first instance of this problem, I had never encountered it before using other cloud (Dropbox). All photos/videos of the specific OneDrive folder are available offline.
As a first measure of solving this I did rebuild Windows Index, with no improvement.

My Windows 10 version number is 2004 (OS Build 19041.450)

For anyone wondering what does this "Αύγουστος" / "Αυγούστου" mean, it is August in Greek. I have always my Windows display language in English. I really don't know why the dates keep being written in Greek...
