No, my question is not answered yet. I am hoping that someone in this forum can speak from experience so I don't have to spend hours downloading an ISO image and setting up a virtual machine to test this.

And that's what I have just done. ;) Thanks anyway, GPT.

An "unclean file system" or "unclean volume" occurs when a data storage device (e.g. USB stick) is disconnected without being safely unmounted. At the next connection, Windows asks the user to "repair" the volume, meaning running CHKDSK. From experience, I know that Windows 7 does not allow...

The disc is physically undamaged. Didn't happen at the time of writing. This is the likeliest cause. It seems Microsoft has abandoned the development of the UDF driver. I am using Pioneer, which seems to be reputable. Also, Pioneer keeps a stable rotation speed while writing, where as my...

Indeed. Now what caused the corruption? These were just a few hundred files. In other occasions, UDF handled thousands of files in one directory without error. Indeed it does. I have attached the command output in the top post. However, this does not bring back the files that appeared as...

I was unable to add files to one specific folder on a Blu-ray disc. Later, there was a zero-byte file dated 1974-07-25 that would result in error 0x80070570 when trying to rename it in Windows Explorer. Trying to open it with Notepad or through the "type" command inside CMD results in an error...

Could you please link me to existing reports of this limitation?

It's as if a human wrote it. Amazing bot. Just one correction: It does not seem like the limitation is known.

On Windows 10 and presumably other Windows versions, the built-in file archiver of Windows Explorer (Windows File Explorer) does not record the time stamps of folders at the top level inside the ZIP archive file. If you wish to retain those time stamps, you can use 7-Zip file manager. Time...

After inserting a Blu-ray data disc (BD-R), an unknown background process accesses the disc even when I am doing nothing. It even happens when deactivating the real-time protection feature of Windows Defender. Existing tools such as the task manager and the third-party tool "Process Hacker"...

Looks like this has already been asked. Because of this, I eject the disc or disconnect the optical drive so it does not make noise overnight. I don't see why Windows would need to spin up the disc to check the availability of the drive, or why the availability needs to be checked in first...

This post was originally going to be a question, but upon further examination, I have figured out a likely cause. The error 0x80071AC3 which could occur while copying files to a BD-R (Blu-ray disc recordable) is likely caused by a decade-old bug in the UDF 2.60 live file system driver of...

Thanks, Neemobeer! Conveniently, it also supports wildcard selection. While I am not all that familiar with PowerShell, I have found a way that can display both file name and the last modified time and the other two time attributes as a table: dir * | select...

To get the exact time stamp attribute of a file in the command prompt, I use: wmic datafile where name="D:\\test1.txt" get LastModified Using WMIC is necessary because the dir command can only show minutes. However, wmic datafile only works on files, not folders. I paid attention to using...

Unless you have a full-disk image backup from then, this is very unlikely. Even if you have shadow copies or something similar enabled, as far as I know, it only captures user directories, not system directories. I don't see how a login from two years ago would be relevant now.
