Windows 10: Can't copy files to other network computers

Using Windows 10 Explorer, I can't copy a file from this main computer to any other network computer. Right now, I get an "Interrupted - 0% Complete" window that pops up and freezes. By the way, XXCopy does in fact work and clones folders from one computer to another. Now I've created a folder that's placed on my main computer's desktop and made it a shared folder. I can place a file into it and then access this folder from the other computers which I can then copy files from that folder.

Erratic Connections to Other Network Computers After Windows 10 Upgrade

Hi, Sorry for delay in replying. I shut down original computer to preserve data in case I needed to do a data recovery. The folder was on another computer, also running Windows 10. It said Public. I dragged a folder that contained sub-folders that had
all my files inside. I know the drag and drop across the network worked, because I verified the number of files and size on disk for the original folder (source) and the other computer on the network (destination). The Public folder on the destination computer,
when I log on does not have the folder I copied across the network. Just in case, I have since backed up that drive as well, in case I can SOMEHOW find the data. I do log on as different users not the two computers. Now, the Public folder is accessible
for all users, correct? Or, should I try to log onto the destination computer as the same user I was logged on on the source computer? I already tried to view all hidden files - no good.

Any help is most appreciated. I did an online chat with a tech, he advised I call, gave me the number. When I called I kept getting bounced back and forth from home to business (I explained EACH time it was a home network, not business, no domain, etc.)
Finally, the last person I spoke with seemed to understand what happened, said she needed to place me on hold, then the call was dropped.

If xxcopy works, keep using it. Most likely there is a security issue in the folders you are trying to work with. You can use Farbar's GrantPerms Download to see if that may fix anything. I would check to see if the third party internet security software that you may be using, may be interfering. Same as run through the standard malware scan, sfc /scannow and dism on both machines.
