thanks but i've already tried that and it still doesn't bring my audio track info back
I would like you to check the system integrity of your Windows OS installation.
- Please type cmd.exe into Start Menu search box.
- Please right click cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator".
- Please type the following command and press the <Enter> key: sfc /scannow (Please note that there is a space between 'sfc" and "/scannow".)
- It should take about 20 minutes to run, if there are no serious errors.
- If the System File Checker reports that some errors were fixed, but some remain; please reboot your computer and run the System File Checker from an Administrator Command Prompt, again.
- If the System File Checker again reports that some errors were fixed, but some remain, please reboot your computer and run it a third time.
- If "Resource Integrity Violations" (errors) are reported that could not be corrected, or were not corrected after a third SFC run, then please navigate to the folder: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and copy the file "cbs.log" to your desktop immediately. I am asking you do that because that file is dynamic, so I want to be able to examine a copy that is unchanged from the time that the System File Checker was run.
- If there are errors that couldn't be corrected, let me know and I will provide you with instructions as to how to upload the file.
I also don't get audio track info, i think this is default or maybe with some media codecs Windows cannot show some of the details.
ive fixed it, i completey uninstalled all my codecs, restarted the pc, re installed codecs, restarted it again and its working, screenshot below is the same file as before now with all the info..thanks anyway and hope this helps anyone with a similar issue
[Our posts crossed paths. I can now see your post reporting that the fault has been fixed.]
Have your files also lost their file association i.e. do they still open with the application that you previously used?
Loss of file association is merely one fault that can cause loss of specific info from the Details pane.
Details displayed for an unassociated file

no the file association was fine they still worked ok, seems it was just the codecs..
OK. By the way, if you ever do decide to customise what is shown in the Details pane, you can use this procedure
Customize Preview Details in Details Pane of File Explorer - TenForums

already tried that and it didn't work..i only really had this issues since windows updated last week..glad its sorted now though
