    How do I move a group of files from search results, but keep them in their respective...


    I have files in individual folders and I'd like to select the largest files to move to a new drive. So I search the root directory to organize the files by size. Even though they are in their own respective folders, I can view them all together in the search results.Now, I'd like to select a few and move them to a new drive, but it will move them into the root folder on the new drive without their respective parent folders.How do I move the files and their parent folders from the search results where I can organize them by size?

    :)

  3. Issue with Fonts in search results and home page

    Hi Eric,



    I would suggest you to search for Font settings using Search and then click on “Change Font settings”. Click on
    Restore default font settings and check if it helps.



    If the issue is not resolved, I would suggest you to perform System File Checker (SFC) scan. System File Checker is a utility in Microsoft Windows that allows users to scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Follow these steps to
    run the command and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
    • Click on Command prompt (Admin).
    • Type ‘sfc /scannow’ without quotes and press Enter.


    Let us know the results.
