PSE stops reading metadata after 2 years??

The original german post did not elude to following error message that was attached to the same post.

So that looks like a software error, not an adobe effort to criple old software.

In the original German message the error message attached says:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements/elements12-is-slow-after-installing-ps21-amp-lr-classic/m-p/12313543#M72254

"The file information command could not be executed because the metadata library could not be loaded."

@Michael3442, I apologize for the harshness of my response.  Normally, it is my position that there is no such thing as a stupid question, and you did ask for opinions about the comment you had read elsewhere.  In order to stop the spread of misinformation, I gave you mine as clearly as possible. 

I am a little surprised that you were unable to find the other post, when asked, since you were the one who translated it from German into English, a few days ago.  I agree that this forum is not the easiest to search.  However to assist you for future reference, if you click on your profile name above any post, you will find all recent posts that you have created.

And since you are unaware who you can trust on this forum, you can hover over the profile link of the poster and get some basic information about them.  Here is Jeff Arola's current profile link:

I hope you will agree that it establishes his credibility on this forum, particularly when compared to the poster upon whom you relied to pose your question.

Now, you still haven't given us any context for posing your question.  But since I try to read between the lines, here is some additional information that you may be interested in.  Adobe provides technical support for each version of its Elements programs for a period of two years from release.  And although there is no stated policy for this practice, I believe that the program will be updated to the latest Camera Raw at least until a new version of the program is released.  So, if you buy a new camera, an older version of the program will not be able to read the raw files.  And, obviously, the program will not be able to read any metadata from that new camera's raw files. 

Added: I have responded to your other question in the other thread which generated your post here.

I did read the original post. It. was in German and had got some answer in English.

The post has disappeared, probably moved to another forum or removed by a moderator.

The assertion that metedata did disappear after 2 years ended by the advice to use Affinity or Gimp instead.

You probably are a bit confused with this post from five years ago:

I stop reading posts that claim somebody else said something somewhere, but when asked for the source, can no longer find it.  
Jeff Arola, who probably knows as much about Elements as anyone not employed by Adobe, has given you a crystal clear reply. 

I could just as easily and clearly say that the post you read must be correct because I believe you when you say you saw it on the internet. I wouldn't say that, because I have been using the program for almost 20 years and I know that what you read in the other post is absolute nonsense.   Perhaps Jeff was too polite to say so.  Of course, if you are able to point us to a credible source with some verifiable facts set in context, I might be willing to change my opinion. 

As far as i know, photoshop elements does not stop reading metadata after two years.

Do you currently have a version of photoshop elements?

Please link to the post. There are a lot of posts.
