Windows 10: Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".

Two problems with editing metadata of music files


Good day all,

I've got 2 problems about editing metadata of music files and I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could help me with this.

1. I know that you can't tag and edit WAV files' metadata but it seems that it's possible to edit their music information through Windows Media Player. My question is, can this music information of WAV files in WMP be saved in these files in some way? It's really tiring to edit these WAV files on WMP every time after a backup and I was wondering therefore if this is possible or not.

2. For some mp3 files it's not possible to edit their metadata for some reason. The Details tab in their Properties dialog is always empty and I can't fill the blanks (Read-only is not selected). And even though I am able to edit their metadata on WMP, their Details tab still stays blank regardless. Usually, from my experience, editing the mp3 information through WMP usually fills its Details tab automatically. But for some it's just not possible. How to fix this?
