    Date created on files keeps changing when I modify them.


    The date created on my files keeps changing when I modify them. It started after I ran a chkdsk and installed some new antivirus software. Can someone help me understand what's going on here? Really need this to get fixed. Thanks!

    :)

    File Explorer Date Created and Modified not always correct

    Hi,

    The File Explorer may have encountered a system conflict that caused this issue. For us to start with initial troubleshooting, we'd like to know more information, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows 10 do you have?
    • In File Explorer, what does it indicate in the Date column? Does it show Date Modified or Date Created? (right click the Date Modified section at the top, which are the ones that has a checkmark?)
    • Which troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Kindly get back to us for further assistance.

  3. Date created vs date modified

    When I modify a file the information for the date created changes to match the date modified. How do I fix this?

    Date Modified vs Date Created in Explorer

    It is common that I re-save files keeping the same name, overwriting the original of course. I have the column Date Modified on display, but it never changes from the original date & time created. That means sorting by Date Modified to see the latest is
    not helpful.

    Am I missing something?
