    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.

    file explorer shows created date not updated date.

    Today, I went to Microsoft file explorer and sorted a list of files by date.

    Imagine my horror when I saw that they were all old files.

    In fact, the problem is that the date displayed is created date, and not updated date.

    This is the first time that I have observed this - it has worked OK in the past.

    Hi,

    1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
    2. Click on Time and Language.
    3. Click on Set time Automatically and Time zone Automatically.

    The folder is created during recovery process and it contains the system files.

    You can run Microsoft Safety scanner on the computer to make sure that there is no infections on your computer.
