I recently updated Windows and when I opened LR after the update I have thousands of the 'metadata was changed by another application' on seemingly random images in my catalog. I store the images and LR on an external which I usually remove before updating the computer but forgot to this time. I'm guessing something in the windows update may have altered the metadata? I tried replacing the catalog with an older update to see if that would fix it but it didn't. From reading on the forum I've seen that this is common and some ignore it. I've been using LR for years and this has never happened and it is driving me crazy that all those arrows are there. Any ideas on a possible fix besides selecting all images affected and choosing to overwrite with catalog settings? I do sometimes edit photos for clients in PSE and DO want those to have the 'other application' edits instead of the catalog. I usually select that option during editing as I go but it looks like this issue is showing up on those as well so I don't want to accidentally overwrite external changes I want to keep. Or any idea how to try to avoid this happening again?
