Windows 10: No merge conflict warning when pasting duplicate files.

I'm trying to create a backup of some pictures on a flash drive that already has a lot of images on. Normally, when I go to paste something, if there is a duplicate I get a warning notification window which gives me the option to skip, replace or rename the file. However, I've now noticed whilst trying to do this that I no longer get that pop-up. I've tried setting 'hide folder merge conflicts' to both on and off but it makes no difference.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Unckecking Hide Folder Merge Conflicts Still Doesn't Solve The Problem of Not Being Able To Check For Duplicates

Actually, it worked just fine until today. Every time I copy pasted files and folders, it asked me about duplicates or skip, showing side by side comparison of file name, date, size, in a list. That doesn’t happen anymore, even if I uncheck the “hide folder
merge” option. Tried it many times, applied, restarted, same result: doesn’t give me duplicated comparison, it simply pastes over (doesn’t create duplicates at all)

 

Copy and Paste duplicate files, folders, diirectories

Hi Rick,

A few possible reasons can cause the file conflict dialog box to stop appearing. To help us identify the cause of this issue, we would like to know the following information:

• Do you only experience this issue when copying files to an external drive?
• Do you experience this issue with a particular folder or file type?
• Have you installed any third-party add-ins or programs that help you copy files?

In the meantime, let's try to disable the Hide folder merge conflicts option to resolve this issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer.
• Click on View, and select Options in the ribbon.
• Click the View tab.
• Under Advanced settings, uncheck Hide folder merge conflicts.
• Try to copy a directory again to your external drive.

Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.
