On adding details on a jpeg images like title,tags etc gives the following error(Windows 10 /64 bit)-

ERROR 0x88982F72 :Failed to read from the stream

I have changed the security settings to "FULL CONTROL" for all groups and users but the error still persists.

Please let me know how to resolve this error.

Windows 10 (even the unactivated version ) by default does not let users (even with Full Control/admin ) to change the metadata of a file imported from another computer as a security measure.
But it does provide an option to override this measure (refer image) by unblocking it.
Once the "Unblock option is checked" and applied ,the metadata of the file can be changed.
