Windows 10: Cropping in Microsoft 10 Photos video editor

I am done compiling my video, but want to crop it to a 4:5 aspect ratio to fit on instagram. I see a crop tool, but don't know how to make it active. Any suggestions? I have pointed to the crop tool with a red arrow in the attached screen shot.

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made on your computer recently?
   
3. What exactly happen when you try to use the Photo editor?
   
4. Which version of Windows are you currently using?
   

I understand you are facing issues with Photo editor application, if you are using the Photo editor app which is downloaded from Microsoft Store, I suggest you to refer the following article and try few troubleshooting
steps to fix issues with Photo editor
and check if that helps.

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall

Photo Editor and check if that helps.

Reply back with the information, to help you further.
