    Windows Photo Gallery alternative


    Does anyone know of a good Photo program for Windows 10 that is as good as Windows Photo Gallery from Vista and Windows 7?

    The Photos app is terrible, it's just one giant page of photos, with no way of tagging, sorting or filtering photos.

    With Windows Photo Gallery I could sort and filter photos by "Photos", "Videos", "Tags", "Date Taken", "Rating" or "Folder". I am looking for a program that works like that. Any suggestions?

    Birthdays in Outlook

    Today my cousin's birthday showed up in my phone's notifications. Today is not his birthday, but the 11th of September is. So I went to my Outlook contacts to change his birthday from 8/11 (US date format) to 11/8 (rest of the world date format). His details were no longer in my contacts list, but he had 2 birthdays in my Outlook calendar 11th of Sep and Nov 8.

    Why are birthdays showing in outlook for people that I don't even have a contact for? Has anyone else seen this happen?

    Outlook for Android can't edit/add new contacts.

    In Paul's "You Can Now Edit Contacts in Outlook for Android and iOS" article, it states "contact editing works only for Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts right now. Support for Google accounts is coming soon, Microsoft says."

    I have a hotmail.com address, and have just updated Outlook on my Android phone. I can not edit or create new contacts. Are hotmail addresses supported? If so, what else could be going wrong?
