Windows 10: Scan directory to search for files that were modified after a certain date?

I'm looking for a command-line or PowerShell script that can search for files within that directory that were modified after the date specified in the command. If this can be done within File Explorer itself it would be better too. I just don't want any 3rd party programs. Thanks.

How do I search for files modified after a certain date in Windows 10, NOT files just modifies last week,month,year,etc

Hello Jay,

Thank you for your response.

Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Open a Folder and type a file you wanted to search.
• Type Modifiedate of modified in the search box. Example:
  Modified:1/7/2016
• It will show all the files which are modified on the particular date.

Hope this information helps.

 

Windows 10 File Explorer doesn't find some files by date modified

Just tried some batch files with some DOS commands. Curiously when I found one to search my D drive using a string of text (yesterday's date), several files showed up. All were modified yesterday and are on my D drive. Here it is:

@Echo off

dir D:\*.* /s /t:c | findstr "7/31/2017" >Directory_by_date.txt

start /w notepad "Directory_by_date.txt"

exit

When I looked at the few files that showed up in the File Explorer search by date, THEY WERE NOT THE SAME LISTS AT ALL! Not one file was on both lists. And neither list had a couple of files I knew were modified yesterday.

So now I have three ways to search for files by modified date:

• DIR gives me one list.
• File Explorer search gives me a different list.
• Visually scanning every directory I know I worked on gives me other files that were modified yesterday, some on the above lists some not.

So what this means is no method is reliable.

I give up.

Thank you for your answer. The drop down list does not give me the option of a specific date modified. I can request files modified the last week, month, etc. I want to find file modified from a certain date which is more than one year. I can get a
list of all files modified during the last year, but I need also some files modified more that a year ago.

Can you help?
