Ever since the last major windows 10 update, I cannot set a date at the Media Created property of any of my mp4 files. Every time I try to do it, I get an error code 0xc00d3e8e along with a message telling me that "The property is read-only". To add insult to injury, it seems that all my mp4 files have somehow lost the said date, tediously set by me previously.
What is wrong with you Windows guys????? How do I get back my hard work of archiving my media files???????

Unfortunately, the problem is persistent with the last major windows 10 update and it seems that no one is addressing it. All my mp4 files have lost their "media created" property - set before with lots of effort by myself - and any attempt to reset that property back, leads to the aforementioned error that "the property is read-only".
It's a major error and bug caused by irresponsible programming as far as I am concerned.
I am really looking seriously into abandoning windows platform altogether after that. We are talking about years of work here - both on my personal files and on general ones.
Such a shame. With no response to such a serious and fundamental messing around with peoples' files.
Thanks for the update. To isolate the issue, please answer the questions below:

Now, do I have to go through creating a whole new account? I definitely don't want to have any more user-stuff clutter on my system disk.
It looks like your computer is still running on version 17134.48. I would like to inform you that Windows 10 version 17134.81 has been released last May 23rd. Please update your computer to the latest build and see if the issue will persist.
You can check for updates by pressing the Windows and I keys simultaneously then click on Update & Security. Under Windows Update, click on Check for updates.
Update us on the result.
