Windows 10: Cant change "details" section of files.

Used to be that I could change the details of files through properties option. This was any given file from MP3 to MKV. Now when I go to the details tab I can't click on any of the sections or alter them. The file is not on "read only" and I've checked permission and I have total control of the file. It simply doesn't let me. I've tried downloading different files and it's always the same. This never happened before so Windows pulled something that caused this. Any ideas?
