  1. File Explorer Freezing / Not Copying Individual Files with Ctrl+C


    File Explorer keeps freezing whenever I try to copy and paste individual pdf/word/excel files into the same folder. It will freeze for 5-10 seconds then not copy the file. It only does this when using Ctrl+C and not when I right click, copy, and paste.

    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
