Windows 10: Can't change photo metadata Windows 10

I want to add more detailed descriptions to photos, but when go to Properties, then Details, I try to click on "Value" and nothing happens. In fact, I click on anything in Details and nothing happens. I have full control in Security all permissions checked for system, me, and administrator, so that shouldn't be an issue. Suggestions/solutions?

:)

Hi,

You can change the dates of your photos in Windows 10. So, if you sort by date, then it also gets sorted by time within the date.

To change the date in photo, follow the steps below:

• First, in a File Explorer view of the directory, right-click the file or the photo you want to change the date.
• Select Properties.
• Click on the Details tab, then click on the Date taken
  field.
• Move your mouse cursor over to the actual value of the date and click on it, and the field becomes editable.

Some of the other metadata are also editable in the same way.

Also, to organize photos in Windows 10, we suggest to check this

Windows Explorer Metadata Changes

Using Windows Explorer I can make mass changes to certain but not all Metadata fields on photo files. I want to update the Copyright Metadata field and can add it to the fields Explorer displays; however, it does not show up in the right change pane. Is
there a way of doing changes to this field for a batch of photo files other than writing a Script program?
