Exploring IM 2021 has revealed 12 files with problems;  the thumbs have little yellow warning triangles.  Metadata write-back produces the attached ExifTools output.  Also attached is the file in question.  Is it possible to rectify this, please.

You should run the Metadata Analyst app on this file (and other problem files). I did; it shows quite a number of internal problems. You might be best off (after making a copy) trying to resave it in the application that created it (Photoshop?). That might fix the problems. I tried opening it and saving a copy with Irfanview; that appeared to be successful.

Metadata blocks damaged. Resave file in Photoshop to recreate the damaged blocks. If Photoshop fails to open the file, try another image editor.
