Windows 10: Last Access Timestamp

Hello
There is one tutorial which is available on SevenForums, but not here, the reason I ask is that I found somewhere that the value is changed since Windows 10 1803:

Last Access Timestamp - Enable or Disable in Windows - Windows 7 Help Forums

So the one on the other forum is not valid for current Windows 10 1903.

Windows 10 timestamps

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.

I'd be glad to help you.



Please answer the queries, mentioned below:

• 
  Were you able to install Windows 10 successfully?
  
• 
  Did you check, if it is present in Windows.old folder?
  
• 
  Where exactly are you trying to check, if the TimeStamps are present?
  

I would suggest you to follow these steps below to retrieve files manually from Windows.old folder and check, if it helps.

• Enter This PC in the search box, and then click on
  This PC in the search results.
• Double-tap or double-click the drive that Windows is installed on (typically, the C: drive).
• Double-tap or double-click the Windows.old folder.
• Double-tap or double-click the Users folder.
• Double-tap or double-click your user
  name.
• Open the Windows.old folder that contain the files you want to retrieve.
• Copy and paste the files that you want from
  Windows.old folder to a folder in Windows 10.
• Repeat steps 5-7 for each user account on your PC.

Please feel free to contact us if you face any issues with Windows.

Thank you.

 

How to disable Last Accessed date ( timestamp ) on FAT32 file system?

Scope of that article is how to *enable* the last accessed timestamp as it's disabled by default on NTFS drives.

Was it any special steps you were thinking about? I've already tried the fsutil command (see above); without rebooting though.

 

Two Timestamp issues/questions

I'm reconfiguring my wife's laptop. File History automatically adds a timestamp to every folder that is unzipped, and adds a Timestamp code to every file.

1. How do I turn off/disable Windows from automatically adding a timestamp? Yes..I've searched for an answer and have had zero success in finding a succinct answer.
2. Is there a Command Prompt script to remove the Timestamp code from all files and folders? Yes....I've searched for this also and have not found a specific answer.

For the admins monitoring this, please allow someone to provide an answer and do not delete it.
