Windows 10: Only Windows Explorer can rename JPG file

I copied a bunch of JPG files from my camera's SD card onto a hard drive so I can edit them. But my editor (FastStone) will not let me save an edited file. I discovered that, for example, only Windows Explorer can make changes to these JPG files. Here's a screenshot of a simple example using a rename operation




To make the above screenshot I used Explorer to add -x to the end of one of the file names. That worked OK, But my normal file manager (Freecommander) won't let let me change the name back, or rename any other file. I also can't save an edited file, or copy/paste a file because I get the message "You need permission from...." when I try to do that.

My system is Win10/64 Home Ver. 1803 Build 17134,132 and I have done all the following things: disabled UAC, taken ownership, set permissions to allow everything, disabled Windows Defender. But something ( I wish I knew what) is still stopping me normal software from updating the JPG files.

What could it be?

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
