Windows 10: Is there a way to set the file properties that you want to display by default in file explorer?

I just got a new laptop on Windows 10. In all my photo folders, by default it shows the "Date" property, but it's blank on all my photos. All my photos are iPhone photos, which use the "Date Taken" property.

So every time I want to sort any folder by Date, I have to go into folder properties and select Date Taken so it appears. Is there any way for Date Taken to be a selected field in all folders by default?

Windows Explorer/file Properties Details not displaying tags

I'm trying to tag documents so they can be found easily but I don't have the option to add a tag to a file. The Details panel in my Windows Explorer does not display tags in the list of properties. Also, when I right-click a file, go to Properties and then click the Details tab, tags are not listed there either.

Is there a way to turn this feature on? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Displaying Thumbnails for .jpg files in Windows 10 File Explorer

Thanks for your suggestion.

As "recommended for Windows 10", "Photos" is the default app for "Photo viewer" (.jpg isn't really listed as the file extension in the settings).

Do you have another app you would suggest?

By the way, my photos open and display just fine, the issue is the general absence of thumbnails in File Explorer.
