  1. Problem with windows defender not copying files


    Hello

    i needed to copy a very large number of various files from one partition to another, but windows defender kept interrupting sting it wouldn’t copy the file as it may contain something harmful / virus......not sure if it deleted the files or not, hopefully not.....none of the files should raise any suspicion....went into GPEDIT and disabled every permission I could see to disable Defender......I do have a registry key ( from ten forum some time ago ) which I ran, but didn’t seem to stop it. Will need to reboot and see if it’s now cured, but in case it’s not. Is there a really good batch file maybe that disables everything possible with windows defender, I hate it that it prevents a file being copied, with no option to override & allow it. Next idea is to try in safe mode, assuming it doesn’t run in safe mode.......

    thanks

    :)

    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
