Windows 10: Delay in 'new folder' creation and in copy-pasting files

I noticed this problem recently, perhaps after the latest update not sure .


If I try to create a new folder in a directory, either by right-click>>New>>Folder or by clicking the 'New Folder' button, one of these things happen :

1. Nothing happens, the folder does not get created.

2. It appears, but is created as 'New Folder', and does not show up as highlighted so that I can rename.

3. Nothing happens, and I have to go up a directory and come back again to find that it's been created after all.


This is also a problem when I'm trying to save a file, through Word for instance, and try to make a new folder for it. Nothing happens.


Another problem I've noticed is that if I cut a file and try to paste it in a new location, it doesn't get pasted the first few times. I have to go back, do Ctrl+Z to undo the cut, right-click, cut, go to the other location and right-click, paste.


I'm concerned that I might end up losing data if this continues.

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

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

Sudden Copy/Paste Folders in File Explorer Behavior Change


File Explorer used to give me the option to either overwrite or skip existing files when copying a folder from one drive to another to replace a same name folder on the target drive.
Today, that option dialog disappeared and the copy-paste process resulted in the automatic creation of a new folder on the target drive named CopiedFolderName - Copy. I want the option to overwrite back!
FWIW, I'm on Win 10 Pro build 14965.
Any suggestions very much appreciated!
