Emacs also appears to not use st_mtime of opened files (at least not by

But if it warned the user about files modified in the background (like Nodepad++

Your latest message prompted me to search microsoft.com further, and I found this:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/190315

which says that the glitchy behavior is "by design" (!) and occurs in NTFS but not FAT (!!).

I wonder whether Cygwin deals with this problem?

Perhaps we should just advise NTFS users to not click the box saying "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" in their MS-Windows preferences.
