• Windows Vista 11 annoyances, "File Explorer".

    During a simple search on a large network share with over 1,000 folders, Windows Vista 11 saw fit to alter the date and time of each folder, using
    the approximate date/time it was searched, with absolutely ZERO changes
    being made to any of the content.

    What a fucked up operating system.

    Which of the eight timestamps did it modify?

    "Date Modified".

    Absolutely NOTHING was modified. This completely departs from historical Explorer behavior. There's absolutely no reason for Windows / Explorer to
    do this and no way to fix it. Windows 10 and the versions before didn't
    do this.
