I'm trying to copy the content of the "Tags"(windows->properties->details)  from one file and apply it to all files on my dir with this.
"exiftool(-k).exe" -r -overwrite_original -TagsfromFile "G:\car photo\a1\20220822_123614.jpg" -all:all *.jpg

But this overwrite all data, including the thumbnail. I only want the Tags field to be copied.

See this post for what tags are actually read by Windows Properties.

The "Tags" property can be read from three different tags.  Instead of using -All:All, just copy those three tags.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
