    No longer able to cut and paste files using Files Explorer


    Hello. Suddenly I noticed that when I try to cut and paste files using Files Explorer, the file pastes and the file name shows, but no matter what type of file it is pdf, word, jpg etc., the pasted file seems to be corrupt and cannot be opened. However, the original file that was I trying to copy is still fine and can be opened. I am updated on Windows Update, tried running SFC as well DISM commands and nothing wrong ws found. Rebooted computer and still having this problem. Really appreciate your help.

    :)

  2. Cannot Paste a File after Cut or Copy a File because Paste is not available

    None of the suggestions have changed the situation. I still cannot cut or copy a FILE and then paste it. Paste is greyed out and cannot be selected. Is there a way that I can be sure the CUT or COPY is moving the data to the clipboard?

    Like I said in my original problem description, I can cut or copy and paste DATA from within applications, but not FILES from within File Explorer.

    Thanks for any help you may give me.

  3. Can not cut or copy and paste multiple files

    In windows 10 I can not cut or copy and paste multiple files from one location to another like I use to be able to in Windows 8. It seems to copy/cut one of the files but then stalls and never moves the other files that are selected. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Win 10 Home - Cut & Paste or Drag & Drop Crashes File Explorer

    Since upgrading to Windows 10 - Each time I drag & drop or cut & paste a file File Explorer crashes. The action is implemented, but I have to reopen File Explorer and work my way back to the folder I'm working on. This happens when working with one or
    multiple files.

    Ideas? Suggestions?
