    Cannot copy or move a folder on a networked computer


    Something changed on one of the computers on my home network. In File Explorer when I right click a folder on a networked computer the normal popup appears with all the options but almost instantly goes away. I can copy or move a file within the folder normally. To add to the confusion the right click works for a minute or two after I reboot the problem system but then disappearing popup problem returns.

    Short of doing a fresh install of Windows 10 does anybody have a suggestion on how to fix this annoying issue?

    :)
