This issue badly affects the overall user experience. When you double click on an image for quicking viewing, Photos App fails to load it quickly.

If you use it regularly, you would have encountered the photo loading time issue. I've tried converting the imported videos to various formats, and to no avail.We all know about Windows 10 in-built photo viewer app called Photos. However, Windows can read that same info from old videos that I took with my iPhone 4. So for some reason, Windows 10 and Windows 7 cannot read the metadata from videos taken with an iPhone. Third party metadata reader applications show me the info. The location info is actually making it to the imported file - I just can't read it. Some third party iPhone management programs (for Windows 10) do show that the videos have location info - but when I import them, it's not in 'Properties' like it is for photos - nothing is.In the Photos app on my phone, I can see the location info for videos. My iPhone is indeed location tagging photos.I have imported the videos as MOV/H.264, and MOV/HEVC (H.265).I have tried importing with several different third party softwares.I have tried importing with Microsoft's Photos app.

I have tried importing directly by copying from to a location on my computer.

Location services are enabled for camera.

I've tried recording at all different resolutions, and in 'most compatible' mode, as well as 'high efficiency' mode.

Now, I'm on an iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 12, same results. This has been occurring since I switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 7 Plus in 2017.

Windows, iTunes, and iOS, and even QuickTime have all been up to date.

I'm running Windows 10, but I've also tried this with Windows 7.

Videos, on the other hand, come in with the metadata nearly blank, other than an inaccurate 'date created' and 'date modified'. What's happening: Photos import to my PC with all of the EXIF data in tact - meaning I can right click and view properties, and see the GPS coordinates, altitude, date taken, and device info. I'd like to get to the bottom of this strange issue that I'm sure others are having as well.
