Windows 10: Please Fix Star Ratings For My MP3 Music Files!

I group all of my music according to the "global star ratings" in the details of the properties on my mp3 files. You could rate songs from 1-5 stars. Now, after updating to Windows 11, I can no longer edit star ratings. Music files that I've already rated no longer show gold colored stars, but text that says "5 stars" or whatever it was rated at. I can't open this rating box to change the number of stars, nor can I rate any new music files I add to my library. THIS SUX!!!! Please return to the old system and fix this, I am VERY disappointed with this change.

Napster to Sell Music as MP3 Files

Napster Inc. said Sunday it will begin selling music downloads as unprotected MP3 files in the spring, joining other online retailers. The file format change will apply only to single tracks and album purchases, according to a company press release. Tracks downloaded as part of the company's music subscription service will continue to have copyright restrictions. Unlike music files that come with copy protections embedded, MP3 files are compatible with most portable music devices, including Apple Inc.'s market-leading iPod media players, Microsoft Corp.'s Zune and mobile phones that play music. "The ubiquity and cross-platform compatibility of MP3s should create a more level playing field for music services and hardware providers and result in greater ease of use and broader adoption of digital music," Chris Gorog, Napster's chairman and chief executive, said in a statement. The company did not say which record companies had agreed to license music for sale as MP3s via Napster.

Saving Video File Property Metadata, star rating, genre, etc.

Hmm.. beyond saying I can change the star rating (and it's retained) on an mp4 video file I copied into that folder, using the properties sheet, I've no suggestions other than 'does it work if you create a new user for test purposes'?
