On NTFS no, but Win 10 still makes shadow files on filesystems without metadata, like exFAT. Not sure about 11 actually as I don't use it much.
I forget the name but I believe it's the filename prepended or appended with an underscore.
PS: On Mac you can turn it off with a simple defaults write command. Of course it also means that metadata changes won't be persisted to such files. Not sure about Windows.
- Dylan16807 4y agoAre you sure? What metadata specifically? I've never seen anything like this from Windows. And I think you misread my NTFS mention. That was only in the context of desktop.ini, and desktop.ini only happens if you go through a specific obscure menu. But I can tell you that prepending filenames with ._ is a Mac thing.
- GekkePrutser 4y agohmm ok I was sure but you made me doubt myself now :) I'll give it a try tomorrow.
