Windows 10: Metadata in music folder

Prior update to version 2004 OS build 19041.264 the metadata was showing track nr, artist, contributing artist etc.

The data is still in the file, but not shown any more.

I looked in the release notes and could not find, that they are stopping displaying columns in explorer.

Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following
link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".
