> Even better was Windows (Live) Photo Gallery. Sadly it's dead since Feb 2017, you can't even install it anymore, as only a now broken WebInstaller exists.

Slightly OT: is there any good photo organizer for windows? I would be happy with sth at the level of shotwell even https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell

digiKam runs on Windows too, it's good, it's open source. But only photos.

Photo Gallery supports video too, and is s lot easier to use and has s polished UI and stable path-like-metadata support. DigiKam can read such metadata tags, even edit them but adding new ones is buggy (path like City/New York/Manhattan are then stored as three separate tags City, New York, Manhattan).
