Premiere Pro - project file updates

If a file (asset) in a premiere (2024) project is changed, for example if a video file used in Premiere is updated (same title, same length, same attributes, same location), Premiere no longer recognizes the file and lables it as missing media.  The replace footage function must now be used.  This has nothing to do with 3rd party apps or anything other than straight Premiere Pro normal function.
