    Windows 11 ProVersion 10.0.22.631 Build 22631As the title states, when I copy a folder and try to paste it, instead of creating a new folder with, for example, "folder name - copy", it simply creates duplicates of the folder contents inside the original folder. I have Googled the issue but I've only found one 6 month old reddit post describing the same issue.

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    copying folders issue

    step 1 on computer i right click desktop folder select copy

    step 2 then go portable drive and paste it

    result :but when i do this it copies all the files inside desktopv1 i know because i get a name conflict warning

    and realize it not creating the desktop folder it actually copying the files inside desktopv1 folder



    it should not do this

    i expect it to copy folder (desktop} to drive

    have no idea why it would ever copy the files inside a other folder that is named differently

    hope you understand now
