Something has to be doing this. It doesn't just happen.

s @asw22 going into the library and changing things? I agree that it could be some sort of sync program maybe syncing to/from Google Drive or some sort of corrupt library. I don't know what gets corrupted from Google Drive. I just know it does get corrupted.

I can't see it being an AV program causing the problem. But if it is, that AV program would have to go.

The thing to do (IMHO) is to copy the existing library and clean up the library and get it as good as it can be and then do a proper backup. But before doing that, put the library someplace else so if it is a sync program, it won't sync the new library.
