How to check if file access time is enabled on Windows

Open a command prompt (no admin command prompt required) and run this command:

example.txt

fsutil behavior query disablelastaccess

fsutil behavior query disablelastaccess

For me, this prints

example.txt

DisableLastAccess = 3  (Systemverwaltet, aktiviert)

DisableLastAccess = 3  (Systemverwaltet, aktiviert)

indicating that access timestamps are activated.
