Windows 10: File Explorer Properties are indicating wrong information

let me try my best to accurately explain the situation from my layman’s perspective, meaning, I am no computer expert and know enough to be a danger to myself. Also, I will try to be descripted as I can, however, I encourage you to analyze the entire post; as there may be some interesting twists to discover.First, I have two high-end MSI gaming laptop computers. One is brand-new operating with Windows 11 and the other is a previous computer operating with Windows 10 and both have current updates installed. Just recently, both are now displaying the same identical inaccurate file count number f

Bug with Properties in File Explorer?

I have three sibling folders (all under the same parent folder) that should contain the same number of files. (The three folders contain the same files but they have different file names.)

If I use the command prompt (DOS) and run “dir /s” on each folder, I get 803 files for each folder. Assuming that “dir /s” is working correctly, that indicates that the three folders do indeed have the same number of files.

However, if I use File Explorer, right-click each of the three folders, and select Properties, I get the following results:

Folder #1: 808 files

Folder #2: 806 files

Folder #3: 806 files

So we have two mysteries:

• Why do none of the results with Properties match “dir /s”?
• Why do two of the folders have a different number than the third folder, when all three have the identical number in “dir /s”?

Is there a bug in Properties?

 

File Explorer no longer lists out previously used tags in properties

So my problem is that when typing into the tags field on File Explorer, it no longer opens a list of all tags that I could be typing. For example, if I wanted to add the tag "Male" to a picture I have, when typing the "M" it would already list out all tags I've used that start with "M," narrowing down the list as I type more. Or of course would just automatically complete the tag when I clicked on one of the options.

This problem persists for any properties that I try to change, whether the file be JPG, MP3, the properties that used to pop up are no longer appearing, thus I have to fully type out every tag. I am still capable of searching via any of the properties however and I can also sort by tags in File Explorer. The only issue is that Explorer no longer "remembers" tags I've used before to help me fill them in.





My current File Explorer Options are





I've messed around with the inline AutoComplete as well to see if that would do the trick but to no avail.
My Advanced Internet Options are





Any troubleshooting or methods I can try that may work, I'd be happy to hear about them.
Any information that I can provide to help you better understand my settings, please ask and I'll add it.
