    Copying to USB Stick/SD Card erratic.
    « on: February 07, 2021, 04:02:45 AM »
    Alienware Laptops, Windows 10. Kaspersky AV. PowerDesk.

    Copying folders and files via USB to memory  (USB Stick or SD Card via USB adaptor as laptop has no SD slot) is erratic.

    This across TWO laptops, with differing versions of PowerDesk.

    Occurs using PowerDesk or Windows Explorer. Same if via Copy/Paste or Drag and Drop.

    Copy process runs without errors and takes the appropriate amount of time.  At end Properties reports the memory used of the transferred file set.

    Root folders of copy set are copied across. Some show files, not all. Some of these root folders show sub folders, some of which show files, but not all. WHICH files copy to where seems consistent.

    Too many differing sticks and/or cards tried to be them I think.  This occurs even to SD cards previously used faultlessly. Seems worse on the higher capacity cards/sticks.

    Any ideas please?
