Anyone else having problems adding cover art after installing Windows 11 22H2 update (and the accompanying cumulative update)? It was working perfectly until the update but now when I try to add cover art, mp3tag reacts very slowly and then locks up hard - I have to use task manager to get it to cl…

I've received an update via email with the good news, that some of the recent Windows updates apparently fixed the issue for the OP.

Quick update - I have 2 Lenovo 11A9 series desktop computers, and a Lenovo 20T8 series laptop. I run mp3tag on all of them. The problem occurs on both of the desktop computers, but it does not occur on the laptop. All 3 are running Windows 11 ver 22h2. One of the desktop computers contains my co…

Can you copy the pictures from the sharing desktop pc to the laptop?

Yes I could but the laptop is the one computer that isn't experiencing the problem. I could copy the the artwork from the server to the desktop client but I don't think that would help, since the artwork file is local to the server, and the errors occur when I run mp3tag on the server.

[image] CamdenTommy: Yes I could but the laptop is the one computer that isn't experiencing the problem As you have a rather mixed up setup it would be worthwhile to narrow down the various influences. So one would be: is the picture accessible at all? Yes, this would be the case if you can …

To answer your specific questions - Yes the cover art is accessible by means other than mp3tag. I can also add cover art with mp3tag on my laptop (over the network), even if I can't add the same art to the same MP4 file on the two desktop computers. And once added to an MP4 file, I can use mp3tag…

For me, the bottom line is that it's one thing for some operation to not work, but it's something else altogether to have a particular operation (in this case, adding cover art to an MP4 file) cause mp3tag to lock up completely, without any error message, and require the use of task manger to termin…

I admire your tenacity and willingness to try to help, but I think you're missing the point that things were working perfectly well until 22H2.

Thank you for telling me that I am ignorant. What I try to get is some kind of systematic information from you. And that starts with the file. Usually, one checks the integrity, then the picture file. if that is OK, then it goes on to the accessibility in your particular environment. This could …

Good thought regarding the anti-virus software. I use Avira on all 3 computers and I checked to make sure that the update didn't set me back to Windows Defender, and it did not. While I was there I noticed that a second cumulative update to 22H2 was ready for restart on the server (different build…

So, does that mean that the file is not OK?
