  1. Can't change photo date


    Why can't I change the data on some (most) of my photos, yet on some (a few) I can. Procedure is the same; select a photo's tick box in collection view, right click menu but then Change date is greyed out. Why?


    I can't see anything consistent about which photos will and will not change date. In fact some that will and won't are from the same phone taken within a few days of each other.


    Microsoft Photos 2018.18081.14710.0

    Can't change photo date

    Photo Date

    I had an old digital camera which defaulted my photos to 2099. Now, they appear at the top of my list. Is there a way to change the date on a group of such photos?
