    Pop ups indicate files can't be copied to destination folder, 3 times.


    Hi,

    Pop ups indicate files can't be copied to destination folder, 3 times.

    This was not the first time this happened in W10 as it happened several time previously.
    These files were copied before with W10 without these type of error msg. Is there something in W10 copy function that's different than W7 or XP which this did not occur? Did a search of the orig folder and the destination folder & the files did not show up?

    Any idea what would cause this?

    Regards,

    klxdrt

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    Why doesn't File Explorer copy the files that are not in conflict in the destination folder?

    Hi Abdu,

    To get better clarity on the issue, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you getting any error messages upon moving the files?
    • Have you tried moving the files manually to the destination folder?
    • What is the file type that you are trying to move?
    • Is the destination folder on a local storage (installed on the PC) or is it on an external drive.
    We look forward to your response.
