Windows 10: What is the correct syntax to search a date range for all Windows 11 updates in the MS...

What is the correct syntax to search a date range for all Windows 11 updates in the MS update catalog search window. I cannot find anywhere with the wildcards?I am trying to update an offline Windows 11 computer that has not been update since 8/2023 so i need 8/23 - 2/24 win11 updates but cannot figure out how to get just that date range in the update catalog...thanks in advance

How do I search files in Windows 10 with a specific date range

A mouse (or a pen):

• Click in the Search bar (opens the Search Tools toolbar)
• Click on the Date modified button
• Click on Today
• Click on Today in the Search bar (opens the calendar)
• Click on a starting date (if different from Today)
• Drag selection to beginning date of range (can go back to previous months if desired)

Total keystrokes: 0

Or once you are familiar with the syntax being generated, use your keyboard, especially for strange date ranges, since that is likely to be quicker.

Date Range Searching By Date Created Stalled

Hi, this works for me:




and have you tried this for a date range:
How to Search for Files from a Certain Date Range in Windows 8 and 10









Then there are 3rd party free find-as-you-type tools which don't mean you have to remember or look up syntax:




- they don't index content though.

 

Using File Explorer to search by date range

I rarely use File Explorer because I find it one of the least user-friendly facilities I've ever come across. But now I need to search a folder and its sub-folders for all files created or modified between 2 particular dates. My experience thus far is:

• I want to search 'Current folder' and 'All subfolders', but only one can be selected -- I presume 'All subfolders' includes the current folder, but that's not what the words say;
  
• under "Date modified", I tried 'Last year' and 'Last month' to see how they worked -- both searches brought up 1 file only, when I know there are many files that fit each of those parameters!
  
• a search of Microsoft Community elicited several references to a calendar appearing when 'Date modified' is selected -- but no such calendar has ever appeared for me!
  
• so, based on other Microsoft Community suggestions, I tried searching for 'modified:15/11/21-5/1/22' -- nil result, even though many files were created or modified within that range!
  

So, my questions are:

1. How do I get File Explorer to work properly for 'Last year' or for a selected date range?
   
2. Are there any non-Microsoft file explorer apps that are more user-friendly (ie, easier to use) than MS File Explorer?
   

Thank you in anticipation.
