Windows 10: Windows explorer date and time do not match the date and time in the file properties.

I have been capturing video using elgato video capture. The clips save to one directory. When I look at the directory entry for a video capture file it is showing a time 5 hours in the future. The file properties show the correct date and time. Windows date and time are correct. I have not seen this previously and I would like some advice on how to fix it.

Date and time of Word file as shown in Windows Explorer does not match date and time as shown under File Properties

Christoph,

There are different date-time stamps [Created, Modified,
Accessed] and I do not know which ones you are referring to. By default,
File explorer will just show a column for Date [unspecified] and that can cause some confusion.

If you are working in File explorer then right-click on a column header and add
Date modified & Date created as columns until you get used to things. Ditch the column for
Date. Don't bother with Date accessed because it can be a pain as it only works as a column entry under particular conditions.

If you copy a file from your computer to the memory stick then

• both will initially have the same Date modified.
• the copy on the memory stick will have a Date created that matches the date-time you copied it.

Note this potentially confusing aspect for large files that take some time to complete copying

• while copying is in progress the copy on the memory stick will have a Date modified that matches the date-time you started copying it.
• when copying is completed, its Date modified will revert to its true value.
