Windows 10: I can not stars rate my mp4 file

I can not stars rate my mp4 files. I can change other details but I cant rate it. Can you help ?

:)

 

Saving Video File Property Metadata, star rating, genre, etc.

Hmm.. beyond saying I can change the star rating (and it's retained) on an mp4 video file I copied into that folder, using the properties sheet, I've no suggestions other than 'does it work if you create a new user for test purposes'?

 

Saving Video File Property Metadata, star rating, genre, etc.

Thank you! I did not think to try that. I created a new ID and then was able to edit the Metadata! So it something related to the id I was using or permissions.

 

Star rating in Windows Explorer

BACKGROUND. I have a lot of academic articles in pdf format on my PC. I would like to rate them from one star to five star to better remember them.

QUESTION. Explorer has a star rating that I can use on a sound file, but the option is not available om pdf files. Any work-around solution?

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION. If the stars are not possible to use on pdf in Explorer, any third party file/document management system that would do the job?
