    Explorer copy move fail


    So I have an odd issue that's been going on since I installed win10. When using explorer, I am not able to move or copy files from one directory to another. At first I thought permissions were messed up or a file issue so I ran sfc and it found no issues. It wasn't a huge deal I just right clicked files hit copy then right click in the folder an shit paste and it worked. Except recently I install xy explorer and in that I can just drag files without issues. That leads me to think explorer is the problem. Anyone else have this issue?

    Windows Explorer Copy and Paste problems

    Hi,

    The copy/paste problem could be due to Windows Explorer issue or faulty keyboard.

    Wewould like to know some information to better isolate the problem:

    • Is the issue also happening when trying to copy/paste any Office files, or is it only happening in Windows Explorer?
    • Have you tried other ways like; right-click + Copy, then right-click + Paste?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We will wait for your reply.

    how to copy files from the CD to the Computer drive

    Hi Hankriegler,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click file explorer from the list.

    • Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.

    • Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
    I hope the information is helpful.

    Thank you.
