Windows 10: Error 0x8007003A when copying files from a network HDD to my desktop

I get the above error copying from a network HDD connected via usb to my router. This only began happening when I got a Windows 11 laptop and only happens on that device. I also have two Windows 10 devices and an Android phone which work fine. I even recently changed my ISP and got a different router, but the same thing happens. If I try to open the file it may tell me it is corrupt or not the right format. Next time I try it may work fine or may not.I've only seen one similar question on this forum concerning printer network storage but there was no posted solution.I think the OP gave up a

Error 0x8007003A when copying files from a printer network folder to my desktop

When I try to copy files from a shared network folder hosted on a printer on my desktop, I get the error "0x8007003A The specified server can't perform the requested operation".

The issue is not constant, it present itself at random intervals and goes away without me changing anything at all. The problem present itself on different machines.

Files are very small in size (around 10 mb), and no information on this issue can be found on the internet.

I've been smashing my head on it for a few days alredy, trying different configurations for "internet options" and "security options".

OS: Windows 11

As anyone any idea what could be the cause of the issue?

 

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

copied all files again to desktop.

Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

• Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
• Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
• Click on Users, select your User name
• Go to desktop folder

Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

 

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
