I am using the Photo's app on Windows 10 Ultimate. The "Save" is actually a "Save a copy" function. I would like to know if there is a normal "Save" for the existing folder. Currently, I have to click the "Save a Copy" menu and then select "Save" to save the image as-is.

CONTROL + E takes you to edit mode (saves one click)
