Windows 10: File Explorer and media metadata tags

I don't want file explorer to show ANY media metadata on my entire computer or drive. I have applications for that.I've changed the drive properties > Customize selected "Documents" and checked to flow to sub folders, but when a new folder is created that contains music it continues to show the music tag info.I can change it on each individual folder, but I'm not going through hundreds of folders to do that, Why does MS assume that by default. Let me decide.Would appreciate any suggestions, but not 3rd party softwareThanks

Add comments, tags, metadata to files in explorer, folder comments

Also known as 'perceived type'.











But if you use it in file explorer search
e.g.



1. Just the files- no search spec



2. Search kind:text




3. Search *ex*.* kind:text

 

Cannot edit any metadata in audio and video files

I'm running Windows 10, fully updated. All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, I'm unable to update any metadata/tags for audio and video files. Haven't tried to update metadata for other types of files.

It's very important to me to be able to edit the metadata/tags on audio files so that my 14,000+ audio files organize correctly for playlists, etc., and I like proper metadata on video files as good practice.

Audio files are largely .mp3, and video files are either .mp4 or .wmv.

I have tried Properties > Details on individual files in File Explorer and several tag/metadata editors that have worked great for years. Some tag editors will show the metadata/tags it allegedly saved, but when I go back to File Explorer
they're not there. I have also ensured that the same metadata/tag categories I edited in tag editors display in File Explorer.

I've also tried some suggestions from forums:

• Making sure proper permissions are granted
• Ensuring I'm signed in to Microsoft
• Copying a file and trying to edit the copy's metadata/tags
• Copying the files to new and existing other folders and trying to edit
• Ensuring the files are not read-only

Any ideas on what could have made the metadata/tags uneditable all of a sudden, and more importantly how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Advanced query syntax - e.g. search terms in file explorer.
I'm not sure those are 'perceived types' - rather a way of specifying your search params.

Mp3tag supports genre:







Audioshell (rt click) supports both - if 'importance' = * rating- don't know.
