    location is not available after being shared


    I have two laptops one is operated on Windows 10 and the other on Windows 11. I connected both with a direct LAN cable then specified some folders to be shared with everyone on one of them and I copied them into the other laptop. The folder size is 490 GB and after 4 hours it is transferred completely and the empty partition which I transferred them into is now full The problem is that once I removed the LAN cable and tried to open the folder, it said the location was not available. the request failed due to a fatal device hardware error. but when the cable is connected it can open normally.

    :)

    Quick Access - "Location is not available"

    Have just done Windows 10 update from 8.1 - very smooth well done MS!

    Have encountered one small problem. In Windows Explorer have discovered "Quick Access" list. Clicking on one folder gives pop-up box "Location is not available" . Displays path which does not exist plus some suggestions as to what might have happened. If
    I right click on folder in list and select "Remove from Quick Access" nothing happens.

    How do I get rid of this folder from the list?
