Windows 10: Try to change "date taken" for a video clip. Although the "read only" box is empty.

Try to change "date taken" for a video clip. Although the "read only" box is empty, the system stubbornly refuses to accept a new date. Anyway, with images, stored in the same folder, there was no problem at all to change the date.

Tks, but what you suggested I already tried several times; same answer every time: read only, although the appropriate box is empty.
