    Issues with File Movement between Symlinks/Junctions in Windows 11


    Hello Community, I have several junctions and symlinks that point to the same physical drive. The problem is the same for both types of links, at least it seems that way.For example:A C:\folder points to X D:\folder andB C:\anotherfolder points to Y D:\anotherfolder When I move files from A to B, the files are copied from A to B, as indicated by the progress bar showing the files being copied, with a reasonable data transfer rate same as copying from X to Y and deleting source. This is especially bothersome with files that are many gigabytes in size.The same happens when moving files
