Microsoft has alerted Windows 10 and 11 users that the file copy and transfer system is experiencing problems, which may result in files not being saved correctly and being lost.
The tech company has opened an issue on the known issues page stating that users may see error messages or experience files not being saved or copied correctly, “especially on network shares.”
The bug affects the file copy and transfer system, which can fail “intermittently”, and, according to Microsoft, it is more likely to have an impact on computers that have a security solution installed “that uses extended file attributes”. .
Couple avoid the file loss, since the failure is intermittent, the company recommends re-saving or copying them, since “a subsequent attempt is likely to succeed.” And it has pointed out that it affects Windows 11 and Window 10.
