Photo that comes with Windows 10

Under prior version of Windows Photos were stored in folders.  I have 4500 + pictures on my PC.  When I open the Photo application I have to go through all my pictures to get to the one I want.   Can anyone explain how to change the Photo application settings to store my pictures in folders?

By the way if I am in FB and say I want to add a photo then all pics come up in the dated folders.  I just don't get it.

    In Windows, the Photos app by default organizes and displays your pictures based on its library settings, which can sometimes make it feel like you're navigating through a large collection without direct folder access. To have your pictures stored and accessible via folders, you need to ensure your photos are stored in standard folders on your PC's filesystem and that the Photos app is set to include those folders in its library.
