It's still not working the same as it did. The old way worked flawlessly, I take a picture and the picture is in my Windows photo app/gallery like magic and it's nicely grouped by date, easy plus functional. Now I somehow have to search for pictures all the time?

Why on my new surface laptop is my iCloud app different?
