"Installed On" date Windows 10

[rpgError]

Hello.

I'm running Windows 10. In "Programs and Features", where you see all programs installed on the machine, Steam games randomly have install dates of yesterday. When I look at the update history of one of those games it does not show that the game was installed or updated yesterday.

For example, Fallout 4 shows that it was installed 5/2/2016, as does Star Wars TIE Fighter. I installed those games months ago.

What causes Steam games to have their installed date changed in Programs and Features?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Nothing that u can do about it; and it has nothing to do with Win10

It has nothing to do with OS; it's Steam that does this.
A simple "verify game cache" does it too.
Most likely your game just updated; they do not show all updates in the news.

If you participate in the Insiders Program for Windows 10, every time you install a new build, it updates all of the dates in add/remove programs to reflect the date you installed Windows.
