Windows 10: Looking for RoboCopy GUI and RichCopy

I was troubleshooting somebody else's computer and needed to back up their files while excluding some stuff. Microsoft used to put out a free utility called RoboCopy GUI that helped setting up the parameters for robocopy and made it easier to copy/paste pathnames when setting up a complex command where you need to exclude things like most of AppData. Yet I couldn't find the download link on Microsoft's site or the Microsoft Store. I kept getting taken to links to this article or the link in said article:Utility Spotlight: Robocopy GUI Microsoft Learnhttps://download.microsoft.com/download/f/

:)

 

Is Microsoft's Robocopy GUI still available

Well Robocopy GUI worked when copying files with no need for .NET framework 2.0

I did try RichCopy but since I've never needed these types of utility I've uninstalled both. Usually I just sick to Teracopy for multiple folder/ file copy/ move operations and don't really need to copy system files etc.

 

Is Robocopy GUI available in Windows 10?

Is Microsoft's Robocopy GUI still available

You are correct, Microsoft seem to have removed both Utility Spotlight Robocopy GUI and its successor "...the new RichCopy tool - a free new utility which offers a number of improvements over Robocopy GUI" from their servers.

Fortunately the MS pages and the downloads have been preserved in the Internet Archive Wayback machine. You can download Robocopy GUI here:

Or if you'd prefer to download from one of your previously working MS links, type it into the Wayback Machine and see if that has been archived too.
