Resolved Question

windows 10 and nikon d7100

Apr 27, 2016 8:47AM PDT

ok... last night i finnally updated my computer from win8.1 to 10.

im in the middle of taking pictures for my website...

for the past 6 months or so i would take about 200 or more pictures a week.

last night i finnally reached 10k. It created a new folder and started taking pictures starting at 1. I got up to 55.

afterwards i started the update to windows 10. and went to bed.

this morning i finished the process of the update, and started taking pictures again.

when i went to photo view, i did not see the 5 pictures i just took, so i went back to the 7100 folder and found out that it had created a new folder and started back at 1... (should have been 56)...

i am keeping track of the numnbers so i know what pics go with what pieces...

I need to know why windows 10 is doing this to me, i blame win10 cause i have not changed any of the settings on my camera, and it worked fine for over 6 months.

Is this going to be happening everyday?

how can i get this back to the way it was without going back to win 8.1?

Clarification Request
Unclear here. What app are you using?
Apr 27, 2016 9:10AM PDT

Windows 10 is the OS, so this must be an app issue. What app?

Also, where's the backups? Are your trying to use a PC without backups of things you can't lose?

i have double backup... happy Cool

i will look into that article... but if i have never changed any of my settings, for over 10k pics, on the camera about making a new folder, so why is it now giving me problems.

That's a common refrain.

"I changed nothing"

It still means I get to open up menus and do some research. My camera creates new folders and for me that's no issue. I've had too many digital cameras over the years so I think I must be used to folder hunts.

If the folders are on the camera and the camera puts the pictures in the folders, why do you think Windows 10 is involved?

i am reluctant to look into the camera as being the issue, because nothing has changed.

in fact yesterday i looked at camera menu... going thru it and couldnt find a setting to change

The clues are pointing to the camera. Ask the camera maker about the rules of folder creation. Windows doesn't dictate to the camera about this.
