the file's create time is big than modify time.

Hi @xiao zhongshuai ,

This is not an abnormal behaviour, if you create a file from scratch, the file will get a creation time of "now", and a modification date of "now".

If you for example copy this file to another folder/drive, Windows will keep the modification time, but the creation time of that file will be set to the time you copied the file to that drive (i.e. the time the file was created on that drive).

So the creation time is actually correct:

• The last time the contents of the file were changed is stored in the modification time.
• The time the file was created on this very drive is stored in the creation time.

Hi there,
It is nothing to worry about and this doesn't mean a corrupted Windows .
I would like to known did you create this file from scratch on the PC ?

Typically the extracted files will have a last modification timestamp assigned from the archive contents (which is typically in the past unless you are a time traveller). As far as the filesystem is concerned, these files have just been created though.
