  1. How does Copy in explorer work


    I use file explorer, copy command to do quick and dirty backups onto a portable drive...I select the folders I'm interested in, and copy them to a USB drive.Since a lot of the files most of them, in fact are already on the portable drive after the first copy, file explorer will eventually ask me what to do with duplicate file names - copy or skip. My question is do the file mod dates or sizes show up as potential duplicates? If I have modified a file that is already on the portable and select skip, does it get skipped even though the file on my laptop is newer?Thanks!

    :)

  2. File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

    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.
