Windows 10: Trying to copy, move, or delete files with Windows Explorer results in it slowing to a...

The title is fairly self-explanatory: on my current laptop running Windows 10, recently whenever I attempt to move, copy, or delete any files or folders with Windows Explorer that are more than about 100 MB or so, the speed drops dramatically to close to 0 KB/s after a few seconds, and continues doing so intermittently until it's completely done, something that takes about 20 times longer than the initial speeds of upward of 50 MB/s would imply, though the time remaining estimate does not always even change to match:This has happened multiple times in the past I actually have a previous quest

Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.

 

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
