Windows 10: How to restore the option of selecting a file on a specific date in calendar in the menu of...

Hello,I would like to know how to restore the option of selecting the date in the searching options menu in the explorer of windows.

Is there a connection with the indexing which is suspended as shown in image 2.Even the windows toolbar for indexing errors didn't help me to restore the function, Please i just want to recover this useful function by just clicking on the calendar and choose

How to fix WindowsLive/Hotmail Birthday Calendar date errors in 5 easy steps

A problem sometimes occurs with the Birthday calendar showing an incorrect date even though the date-of-birth details in your contacts are correct. The way to fix this is to delete the Birthday calendar and re-create it.

Notes:

Some people have reported that their Birthday calendar is not automatically populated from their contacts list. This is probably because they are using the wrong template. The Birthday calendar must be created from the drop-down menu as shown in
step 4 below using “New > Birthday Calendar” because just using “Add a new calendar” and naming it “Birthday calendar” only creates a standard calendar with that name, and not one from the preset Hotmail Birthday calendar template.

Step 1:

Login to your WindowsLive/Hotmail account and open the calendar menu. On the home page, right-click Hotmail in the top menu and select Calendar.

If you’re on the Inbox page, you can either right-click Hotmail and select Calendar or select it at the bottom left of the page.

Step 2: You are now in the primary calendar and can see all the Calendars at the left. If there is no Birthday calendar, skip the next step and go to
step 4.

Step 3: Select the Birthday calendar and when it comes up, select Delete, and then select Delete again in the dialog box to confirm.

If you have a mobile ‘phone or other device linked to “WindowsLive”, synchronise it now to delete the birthday calendar in it before going to the next step.

Step 4: Now click on the down button in “New” and select “Birthday Calendar”. If the option doesn’t appear in the drop down box, it means you haven’t deleted the old one (see picture at right).

Step 5: Now Save it.

The new calendar will automatically be populated birthdays from your contacts. You will have to re-synchronise your mobile ‘phone or other device to add the new calendar to it and they should now show the correct date.

 

How do I search files in Windows 10 with a specific date range

In File Explorer:

1. Select the folder you wish to search.

2. Left-click on the Search box at the far top right of the File Explorer address bar line. This will display the various additional search options ribbon at the top.

3. Click on the "Date Modified" icon and select "Today".

4. Again left-click in the "Search" box on the word "today". (Make sure you click there and nowhere else in the box). This will bring up the Calendar.

5. In the Calendar, click the beginning date for your search. Files for that date (if any) will be listed. The Calendar should still be open.

6. Holding the "Shift" key, click on the ending date for your search. Now all the files in that date range should now be listed.

What a royal PITA. There is no documentation as to how this works. I just found it by trial and error. You need to select the beginning date without the shift key, otherwise it brings up everything from the date you selected to today's date.

Microsoft, why did you not have specific date and date range options as part of the Date Modified drop down?????????????

Feature suggestions - move to proper menus, add Options window

Suggestions:
1) Remove main menus from top left menu (system menu) and move them to a standard Windows menu, at the top.
Leave the 6 system menu items (Restore --- Close) in system menu, move all the rest to that standard main menu. The main menu can be auto-hidable - pressing Alt key to invoke it or hide it, similar to the way IE11 menus and many Windows 10 built-in apps' menus work.

2) And/or, add an Options menu or button, which would invoke a separate screen with GPU-Z Options, similar to how most Windows apps work.
Most Windows apps have a separate Options screen, which GPU-Z lacks - one should be added.

Thanks in advance for listening!
