I checked the file you sent and the GPS data is either missing or is not being correctly read by the Windows codec. Not much I can do as this is not a Picture Window problem. It looks like Photoshop can find the GPS info so it may be a Windows problem. Do you get the same issue with TIFF files?

The GPS data is not missing since it is recognized by exiftool, by https://pixelpeeper.com/app, and by https://tool.geoimgr.com/

It could be as you suspect a problem with Windows.

Could you change PWP such that it would retrieve GPS position using exiftool rather than from Windows or in addition to Windows ?
