  1. File explorer freezes for a moment while copying files


    Hello. I´m on latest Windows 10 update. Lately, while copying or moving files from one folder to another, the mouse with the copying file just freezes at the edge of the folder I´m copying from. I cannot move the mouse for 5 seconds or so and then it unfreezes. It´s not that big of a bug, but it´s a bit annoying. Do you have the same issue or know how to fix it, please?

    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

    File explorer freezes for a moment while copying files

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

    If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.
