    We'd like to know the current build and version of your Windows 10. To check, press the Windows key, type
    winver, and press the Enter key. If possible, we'd also like to see a screenshot of your file explorer while attempting to save a file.

    Meanwhile, as our initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you enable Windows Search service to run a repair on the File History tool to see if there will be any changes. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Win + R to open Run > Type Service.msc.
    • Double-click on Windows Search > If it's disabled, set it to
      Automatic.
    • Click on Apply > Then choose OK.

    Get back to us for further assistance.

  4. searching file by date it was saved or type

    Search by date modified not working - Windows 10

    Sorry to say this didn't work for me.

    Every end of the year I "archive" all my files which are older than January 1st of the current year.

    This worked for decades.

    Today I searched all files in my personal directory having a date older that 01/01/2017 by using the following in the search box:

    date:<01/01/2017

    The search listed only files from some subdirectories but no file from other directories and subdirectories (e.g. no files from my Documents). If I run the search in my Documents directory, the files show up!

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks.
