Windows 10: 'Invalid File Handle' when I try to change the date of one of my photos.

I want to change the date taken of one of my photos but I can't do it because the computer keeps saying 'Invalid File Handle'. What does it mean and how do I prevent this?

:)

 

the handle is invalid HELP!

I'm going through the same thing right now. i tried to go in and come in on safe mode but it still would give me the same error. Now it will take my password, start to log in and bring up my main screen but it blip then goes back to the sign in page where i put my password in it would give that 'invalid handle" message.

 

the handle is invalid HELP!


I concur, this has occurred to multiple machines in our environment. Seems to be related to KB3135174 & or KB3124262, I found a nice step by step at the below site. They posted that it was related to Citrix and XenDesktop but it seems to affect a bit more...

Thanks all for confirming my suspicions about the bad update(s).

 

Can't change photo date

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



What is the file extension for the photos which are facing the issue?



It is possible that the Windows photos app has gone corrupted due to the involvement of third party websites/applications.

You can try to run app troubleshooter and check if that fixes the issue.

Refer to
fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store .



Alternatively, you can try the following steps to change the date of the photos:

1. Select the file from the file explorer.
2. Right click on it and click on Properties.
3. In the image properties, click on the Details tab.
4. Look for the section Origin>Date taken and click on the mentioned date.
5. Edit the date accordingly and click on Apply and OK.
   

Get back to us with the required detail to help you further.
