Trying to add rating for a windows file and I am getting “You will need to provide administrator permission to apply properties to this file”
Trying to add rating for a windows file and I am getting “You will need to provide administrator permission to apply properties to this file”
This is on a Windows 10 computer.
I am the owner of the file. My account is an Admin account. I can rename the file with no problems
Update: after some investigations I realized the is happening only for PDFs
This seems to have something to do with the file handler
in File Explorer enable the details pane (Under the View menu) then click on the file and you will see tags, category content rating (this is a doc file)

This has something to do with the file handler
I reset that (associate another app with the file)
That changed the metadata fields available and the error was gone
Due to the fact that someone here voted down this issue (the admins reviewed my question and ignored the gratuitous down vote) I am not going to post how I fixed the issue
At least I gave you a clue. Windows 10 is a bag of bugs and issues. I did not have these many issues with Win 7 but neither these many new features
