How to save and restore files after a certain date

I may have been infected. To be safe, I'm going to restore known good backups of my C and D drives that were made on 2/1/23.

1. Before I do the restore, I want to save files on my D (data) drive that were modified after 2/1/23 to date.
2. Then do the restore of my C and D drives.
3. Then virus scan the files that were saved in step-1.
4. Then restore those files back into their proper folders on the D drive.

Any recommendations on how I can save the the files in step-1 and then restore the files back into their proper folders in step-4?

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 history saves only files when the size changes

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you have an issues with finding modification date for the files, I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

I would like to inform that, by default you will be able to see the created on, accessed and modified dates when you right click on the file and select properties.

Also, I suggest you to change the settings the File History and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key and type File History and select
  File History Settings.
• Click on More option, See advanced settings, wait a while and click on
  Advanced settings.
• Under Versions you will see the options:

• Save copies of files
• Keep saved versions

Modify them according and check if it helps.
