Windows 10: File Explorer - Tabs missing in folder properties

When I right click on a folder, I'd expect to see the customize and other tabs. However, I do not see any tabs other than the 'General' tab and 'Previous Versions'. You may have noticed that the "Read-Only" box is checked. I tried to uncheck it, and uncheck other boxes in "Advanced...". Whenever I re-open the folder properties window, the box get automatically checked.



I noticed that some of the other tabs appear on folder shortcuts.



Any help is appreaciated

:)
