Can I ask for a little help please


I am running windows 10 the latest version with all the latest updates on my PC and my laptop


I have a problem in that 9 times out of 10 when I try and copy a folder to another hard drive or just make a copy on the same partition of the hard drive, The copy starts and then part way through the copy the screen flashes and the copy stops and does not complete its only part copied.


This is happening on two computers now


I have tried different hard drives but it makes no difference

Try booting the machine into Safe Mode with Networking and see if the problem persists.
Sounds like something is crashing Explorer
This is just a shot in the dark, but in the interest of covering a very obscure base.
IF..... you are using a "Slideshow" for your desktop background, change it temporarily to a static (unchanging) picture or solid color and test if the problem still happens.
