So I have read through other posts with this issue, but I have not been able to resolve it. So currently I have iTunes on windows 10. I can't seem to edit anything. I looked through the properties>security>etc and I already have full control. Can anyone help?

See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community. Have you explicitly applied permissions to enclosed objects even if all looks OK at the level of the iTunes folder? Tried running iTunes as administrator?

See where it says Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Have you tried the section headed File is locked, on a locked disk, or you don't have write permission errors?
See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows update - Apple Community. A full teardown and rebuild might help. The traditional installer may work better for you than the version from the Microsoft Store.

If you try to edit properties in iTunes for a single file are the fields greyed out, or does iTunes apparently let you make changes but then not save them. Look at the file properties in File Explorer, are they OK? Are the tracks that you want to edit in MP3 format?

Ah, the ability to edit the metadata of content on a device is somewhat limited. See Move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Community and move/copy the library from one computer to the other, or reclaim the content from the device.

When I edit song info in itunes, the boxes are fine, i can click in them. however, I just can't type anything in there or delete anything. Also under file, convert, those options are grayed out.
Currently I don't have any music on itunes? It's all on my phone as i uploaded them onto my phone on my other computer, itunes works on there fine.
Reason why I want to edit song info on songs that are currently on my phone is because when I uploaded them, I had put the artist in on itunes. It looks fine on itunes, but when i uploaded the music into my phone it doesn't show the artist, it only shows the title.
Edit: appears to be that new songs can be edited, but the songs that are currently on my phone can't be.
Yes, I have read through that article already. I just tried running as an admin and it still doesn't work. How would I explicitly apply permissions to enclosed objects?
I don't have/I can't find the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects. I just checked windows defender, the file thing is switched to off.
