# Bug report ### Bug description: In 3.12 on Windows, calling stat() on a direntry returned from os.scandir() always returns an st_ctime of 0: ```python import os for direntry in os.scandir('.'): st = direntry.stat() print(st.st_ctime) ``` In 3.10, this gave reasonable timestamps. In 3.12, it's always 0. This only affects os.scandir, not os.stat. I'm guessing it's related to this (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#deprecated): "The st_ctime fields return by [os.stat()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat) and [os.lstat()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.lstat) on Windows are deprecated. In a future release, they will contain the last metadata change time, consistent with other platforms. For now, they still contain the creation time, which is also available in the new st_birthtime field. (Contributed by Steve Dower in [gh-99726](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/99726).)" The os.stat results are as described, but maybe direntry.stat() was overlooked. I think it should also give st_ctime = st_birthtime for the compatibility period, like os.stat() is doing, not 0. ### CPython versions tested on: 3.12 ### Operating systems tested on: Windows <!-- gh-linked-prs --> ### Linked PRs * gh-117354 * gh-117525 <!-- /gh-linked-prs -->
