Windows 10: Microsoft Photos - "Saving your changes... Something went wrong"

Hi there,I usually use File Explorer to organise my photos and a bit of python However I see the latest update to Microsoft Photos looks pretty good. I open up an image in a directory and scroll through the images - as I see a photo I like I press the L button like or click the Heart icon.However, on many images I get the error message "Saving your changes... Something went wrong" and it doesn't save the like i.e. the metadata for the Rating in the file is not savedIt does it for some images but not others. Hence, I cannot at all rely on this mechanism to mark all my favourites ready to

Photo App: Hearting a photo generates error: "Saving your changes... Something went wrong."

Hi.

RE: Microsoft Photo App in Microsoft 365

When I open the photo and hit the *heart* button at the top to like it, I always get the error:

"Saving your changes... Something went wrong."

I've tried:

• Reset Microsoft Photos App
  
• Repairing the app.
  
• Putting the app back to defaults.
  
• Photos Legacy
  
• Three different computers
  
• Confirmed Folder Permissions
  
• Confirmed my Windows PC is updated
  
• Run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter
  

I really don't want to use another photo editor or change image format if I can help it... lots of photos.

Who knew loving photos would be so hard?

Any suggestions from the Community? Many thanks!
