  • File searching by specified modified dates in Windows 10 File Explorer?

    From David K@muskyjitterbug3@gmail.com to alt.computer on Tue Jul 6 00:15:23 2021
    Is there a way to search for files in Windows 10 File Explorer by specified exact (modified) dates such as June 20th to July 6th (as I was easily able to do very often for several years in Windows 7) rather than by generalized periods of time such as "last week" or "last month"? If somehow not, then I have to say that Windows 10 is a downgrade instead of an upgrade! That would mean I have to do 2 searches ("last month" as well as "this month", with a lot of early June dates included that I don't want) rather than just 1 modified date search!
