I have windows 10 on a one year old Dell laptop. The Photos app is a source of constant frustration. Recently it has stopped recognizing which pictures it has already imported from my camera (or directly from SD card). In addition it doesn't ever download them in the order they were taken, but mixes up older with the new from the same SD card. The Album and Folder features are also frustrating to use. I cannot deal with the fact that pictures are put into albums for me with little control as to how they are shown. I would like to store my pictures as picture files in a folder I name myself, in a location I decide, and in the order they were taken, with the correct date and time. 

Is this too much to ask? Is it too simple or too complicated for the wizards at Microsoft? Have they become so enamored with their own idiosyncratic ways that they can't think like a normal consumer anymore? Computers were supposed to help us do more things ourselves. I find myself being able to do less and less myself, except the things the machine is telling me to do.
