Windows 10: Cannot Move Multiple Folders at Once

New Computer. Windows 10. I'll select multiple folders and either try to drag or copy/paste into a new folder within the same drive and it will only take one. On top of that, it takes a very long time. It also will always go from 0% to done and just state that it's calculating time remaining. I have also seen a couple times where the original folder will remain there empty. File Explorer has crashed a couple times immediately after attempting to move a folder. I notice that single files move with easy. Why are folders so different?

Multiple 'Documents' folders under 'This PC'

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

This may happen if one the “documents” folder has been stored on different target location.

Follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1

I suggest that you check both the folders location where they are saved using the below method:

• 
  Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Location tab, click Restore Default, and then click Apply and OK.
  
• 
  Check what happens, try these step on all the documents folder.
  

Method 2

If the above step fails then try checking the target location of both the folders by using the find target option:

• 
  Right-click on any one documents folder and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Location tab, click Find target.
  
• 
  Check where the target location of both the folders is and check if any one goes to the user name location and later delete the one which goes to wrong location.
