    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

    Hello -
    Thanks for the return. Before I undertake changing the Registry, I have a question.
    The steps in my Registry, for my version of Windows 10, were a bit different, but I think I eventually got to the right spot.
    The last step is to change the number of places you want to list in Recent Places. In my case, the default Max Display listed 50 as the number. So, if I were to change that number, how do I know the Save As page will be one of those places? Or, a similar question, will this registry change delete the tab Recent from my Save As page? This is what I would like to happen.
    When I received my computer in Nov. 2016, the Recent tab was not listed in the Save As page. Something caused it to be added over time. Which brings me to this second question. Would there be any benefit in deleting the changed registry listing and reverting back to the default listing? See attachment.

    File history saves only files when the size changes

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As you have an issues with finding modification date for the files, I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

    I would like to inform that, by default you will be able to see the created on, accessed and modified dates when you right click on the file and select properties.

    Also, I suggest you to change the settings the File History and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key and type File History and select
      File History Settings.
    • Click on More option, See advanced settings, wait a while and click on
      Advanced settings.
    • Under Versions you will see the options:
    • Save copies of files
    • Keep saved versions
    Modify them according and check if it helps.
