Is Windows mocking its users?

Try reformatting the drive(NTFS) and try again.

I've just transfered 200gb from my downloads to an external drive. Images, music, programs etc.. must be something with your device

layer 8 issue, op

How large is the file and what type of file is it?

Windows users are instant gratification conformist.

How about reformatting you?

Just a normal .exe file, a few MB.

It's not the first time I am encountering this problem (with other software too).

Bill Gates has been mocking us for decades while he smugly smirks and swims in his swimming pool full of money.

Check your windows security. Windows Defender is preventing you from copying the file. Place the folder in the exclusion directory.

There is something in what you are saying.

I have used Linux off and on for some years though and have become quite proficient at it.

I am in fact only using Windows because I bought this laptop secondhand with Windows 10 already on it, and it's practical for playing games.

It gets a bit more complicated with Linux.

And besides, Linux is not exactly a rose garden either. It can get a pretty bumpy road.

I don't think so. In that case, Windows Defender would have notified me, or Windows would have told me there is a security problem.

Sorry for legitimately trying to help.

I guess you can fuck off then, noob.

That smug smirk of his, huh?

lol

You can say that again.

Call me noob huh?

Fucking troll, GTFO.

You know very well you weren't "legitimately" trying to help me.

Try reformatting the drive and install Linux,

Whatever.

Can you be more lazy? Try.

How reformatting yourself?

Well, it must be "something"... how can I not agree with that.

The problem is of course that stupid Windows doesn't tell you anything you can actually use to do something about it.

This is what it SHOULD do, isn't it?

he's having his last meal of a so called life and just like a death row inmate in dont exactly get too good from there

you simply lack perspective and that is by design

so is this

Actually was, but keep on being an ignorant ass.

If you just compress the file first, it will transfer without issue no matter what the thumb drives file system, but you won't listen.

His last meal? He isn't that old, and he doesn't look ill.

He's probably good to go for another 10 years, and then maybe another one...

Stop your BS.

If you are genuinely "trying to help", then you are just an ignorant idiot.

I am using the internet (and computers) since before 2000, and in those early times telling a noob to reformat his HDD was a popular "joke" as some were probably ignorant enough to actually try that.

What are you taking me for?

You just need a new floppy disc, OP.

Try using the command line, it might give more information.

Permissions.

Somewhere deep in the murky and innefficient file
tree of object oriented menu boxes,
(as opposed to an actual file tree where you could see every function simultaneously) there
are settings for file ownership(take that),
read, write, execute, delete, etc.

I recommend taking ownership of the root
directory directly after installations.

You can also prevent things like the
network from accessing executables.


Unless they have decided to turn all those features off
and it's just an unconfigurable spy machine, like a mac.

It's mocking them and it's overrated.
