Windows 10: No file transfer dialogue shows up

Daktyl · Dec 27, 2015

I don't know when this first started happening, I just assumed stuff was transferring fast enough for it to not show up (only really moved small things). However, I got a small-ish SSD as a secondary drive for a few important things and want to test the general speed of it... but I can't, because no file transfer dialogue is showing up!!

Any ideas as to why?

Exception Log dialogue box shows up after manual updating of Win 10 Pro, ver 1709

I have a Dell Latitude E7470 with a 6th gen Intel Core i5 processor. When I first open it up, I manually go to Windows Update, which usually loads the latest Windows Defender antivirus update. Afterwards, an Exception Log dialogue box shows up on my screen.
It is a long rectangular box that won't open up any further via mouse pointer prodding. It wants to know if I want to send an error message re a "System Error Code 5. Access is denied" When I click Yes, an SMTP box opens near the status bar, then sends a message.
Afterwards, the screen shows a dialogue box which says the message was successfully sent. I want to know if me manually going to Windows Update is causing this Exception Log box to show up.

Windows 10 Changing the Bluetooth file location

I never get the file transfer in progress message. My phone says the file uploaded to my HP, but the PC remains silent.

I had the same problem and it was totally my fault because I assumed it would be the same as on XP and I rushed through without reading everything that came up on the screen. And BTW I just uploaded a video on Youtube with this solution since that tends
to be a more reliable place to get answers than from Microsoft.

Here is what you have to do:

Go to the bottom right hand corner of your screen and click on the little up arrow. A box will open up with a bunch of icons in it for functions on the computer. When you hold your mouse cursor over them it will say what the are. Double click the one that
says bluetooth and a box will open. At the top will be a switch to turn bluetooth on or off below that will show devices connected or available for connection and below that will be related settings. In the related settings section click on send or receive
files via bluetooth and another box will open. In the new box click on receive files. That will open a dialogue box that shows the file transfer progress when you send the file to the computer. You will need to send another file to it in order to change the
setting. When the green progress bar gets to the end to show that the transfer is complete don't do what I did at first and rush to click finish. Where the green progress bar had been will be a box that shows the location the file will be saved to. Right after
that to the right will be a box that says browse... . Click that and it will open a dialogue box to let you select where to save the file. From then on all files sent via bluetooth will go to the location you select.

Here is a link to a Youtube video I made to assist with this problem:

Hope this solves your problem.

Hello Daktyl, *Smile

Yep, it's a known issue in the 11082 build. Hopefully it'll get sorted in the next release.

Ah. I know I read that when the notes were release, I guess I just didn't notice it right away so I disregarded (and then forgot about) it. Thanks.
