nah...
I've not watched A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night yet... no idea why the accessed date is boxing day; possibly the last time i looked in that folder?
The dates for Zombieland and What We Do means nothing either... not watched them or looked in those folders for a couple of years.
Thanks though

Maybe a virus scanner program accessing the file/directory ?

Just upped the RAM on my desktop from a measly 4GB to 16.
What a difference!

Too right! 4GB just won't cut it these days ... by way of an example, playing Flight Sim on my PC, it uses 22GB!
I went 32GB 4 years ago, but 16 will deal with (almost) anything.

I am almost tempted to have another go at upgrading to Win 11. It was dog slow when I tried it last year with only 4GB.
I'm not sure if it is worth the bother though.

I would, marginally snappier than 10, maybe not so on older rigs, depends what you have got? If more than 5 years old would stick with 10.

Dell Inspirion 3881 somewhere round a year old. I have just ordered an SSD as another upgrade.

No probs with Win 11 then, will work a treat with the extra memory + SSD
Thanks.

It's pretty disgusting that Dell were selling PCs to the unsuspecting with only 4GB ram last year.

I can't upgrade the memory on my laptop - it has 8 GB soldered directly onto the motherboard.
I am currently on Windows 10 but I suppose I will eventually have to upgrade it to Windows 11 unless I buy a new machine. I don't have any plans to at the moment because this one is pretty good apart from having a dodgy left speaker.
I think a bigger and faster SSD would be a worthwhile investment though. The current SSD is only 256 GB and is about 2/3 full. It probably isn't as fast as it could be either...

Exactly, you have been able to get 16GB for under 50 quid for a couple of years, cheeky!

8GB of RAM will deal with Win 11 and 40 odd quid for a 1TB ssd now.
