![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/29868868335243f18ea4edf2fecb73d008e61484.png) As you see, I can't edit tags by the explorer of windows10, which should can before I ran mp3tag. I also tried to edit those music by other software just like groove music and some others, and they dosen't work. Now I have the only way to edit must tags is using mp3tag, ---

check which tag encoding you use: File\>Options\>Tags\>Mpeg ... UTF should be the selected option. see if the access rights are ok. see if your files are OK. Check them with mp3val, foobar2000 and/or mp3diags if they are mp3 files. ---

If it's the problem of music files themselves, why the mp3tag is able to edit them? It's so strange, I tried everything I found but nothing work. By the way, I have installed mp3tag in portable mode, so I don't think uninastll it could take effect. ---

OK, I dowloaded foobar2000 under your advice, and It's working! Thank you very much. Although my windows explorer/groove music/and some other autochthonous music players still don't work, anyway, at least I knew It's not the mp3tag's cause, and it's enough. Maybe it's a bug of windows's build-in encoding, who konws, who cares. ---
