Illogical date modified updating

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that the modified date is just as important as the created date within the metadata of a given file. We will look into this for you.
However, in order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. What is the build of Windows 10 running on your system?
   
2. Was there any major change or an update on your system prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. Is the issue only with the pictures taken from the camera or the other pictures and files within the system as well?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it is helpful to you.

Method 1: Enable the Date Modified Column in the File Explorer.

To enable the Date modified column within the particular folder, please follow the steps below.

1. Open the Folder in which you wish to see the Date modified column.
   
2. Right-click on the
   Header for Name, date, type etc. This will give you a list of columns that can be displayed.
   
3. Select the option Date modified, clearing the tick removes that column.
   
4. Modify a file and check if it is being reflected in the Date modified column.
   

If the issue still persists, where you aren’t able to see the value in the Date modified column even after making the changes to the particular file, please follow ‘Method 2’.

Method 2: Create a new user account.

This issue could be due to profile corruption. Hence to eliminate possibilities, I would suggest you to ‘Create
a local user or administrator account’ and check if the issue persists.

Note:
You will not see all your files under your default file location. So your data will be saved under C:\users\user_name.

We await your response.

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.

 

Any download manager saving server modified date?

Currently I use Internet Download Manager from Tonec
(Internet Download Manager: The fastest download accelerator)

I am aware of many alternatives, that is not the point.


However, I do seek a good, alternative download manager that does the following with the downloaded file:
a. set created date after the server date
b. modified date, date of download.

For example: the server date of FileXYZ is Sept.30, 2018
When downloading the created date is set to 30-09-2018
The modified date is set to Oct. 6 2022

I have set up IDM to keep the server date. IDM is also saving the server date as modified. Date stamps of a downloaded file are like this:
modified date: 30-09-2018
created date: 30-09-2018
accessed date: 06-10-2022

I would like to have the modified date to be the same as accessed date.
modified date: 06-10-2022
created date: 30-09-2018
accessed date: 06-10-2022

Currently IDM does not have this option.

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks.
