Windows 10: lack of Date Modified in File Explorer saved From Outlook Microsoft office emails since May...

I have an issue with the " of lack of the Date Modified in File Explorer that was saved From an Outlook Microsoft office emails since May 18th update.


It is only happening on email with those attachments that you save to the computer..


If you view PDF document file proprietress says:


Created: " Friday, December 31st, 4500, 6:00.00PM

Modified: " Friday, December 31st, 4500, 6:00.00PM


Those dates is the same on every PDF that comes in via email. I feel that Microsoft office is changing the dates of the actual PDF... this has been happening since last update of May 18th.


When you view this same PDF file in the windows 10 File explorer, there is no date listed at all! That field is blank!


Has anyone else seeing this issue? It is very annoying and frustrating.

Windows Explorer is slow to update "date modified" and hampers searching for most recently updated files

Windows Explorer doesn't seem to be keeping up with "date modified". E.g. I modify a file in Word then save it to my local drive. Then I open Windows Explorer and sort by Date Modified. The file I just saved should be displayed at the top of the file
list, but it doesn't. I have to also add that it "sometimes" works, but most of the time, it doesn't. It seems like it takes several minutes for the file system to update to sort by Date Modified. Any suggestions?

 

How to save attachment from Outlook without changing the Date Modified to current date

Hi,

I noticed that the Date Modified is changed to current date when I save an attachment from Outlook 2016 in Windows 10.

Previously, the Date Modified was based on the date/time of when the file was attached to the email, instead of date/time of when the file was saved from the email.

Somehow, something changed in Windows/Outlook in the last few weeks/month.

Is there a way to revert to either the original date of the attachment or the date the file was attached to the email or the date of the email, INSTEAD of the current date/time of saving the attachment.

This is critical because we will be able to tell if we have already the same copy of the attachment in our folder. If the Date Modified is based on current date/time, we can save it many times and have different dates but not know if the file is the same
or a different version.

Thanks

Jeff

 

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.
