Windows 11, copying files between hard drives painfully slow

Anonymous

Has anyone else experiencing extremely long times for copying one hard drive to another?

I'm trying to copy all the files from a standard 3.5" hard drive to an SSD.

It's almost 1TB of data but the speeds continuosly drop to less than 1MB/s when in safe mode, as running the PC in it's normal mode stalled the copying process with it showing 0KB/s.

I am on the latest version of Windows and with the newest updates with the apparent bug fix.

I am on day 3 of copying these files.

I have tried all the "fixes" that show up on Google and both hard drives have "full control" by myself/all users.

Hoping someone can help.

    This an issue that is not going away. I too am having challenges with copying and moving files and folders. What used to take me an hour now takes half my day. I have explained this issue to my supervisor and she has let me know that other techs and departments are having the same issue. MS refuses to aknowledge the issue when we bring it to thier attention saying this an equipment issue. All our gear met the quality reqirements and several devices were brand new. Our company is looking at removing win11 from all our systems and going back to Win10. This situation is not teneble.

    I assume O365 is not installed?

    0365?
    What's an 0365?
    Can be ANYTHING.

    If you respond, PLEASE make it clear, as to what you are on about?
    Since, trying to Google that ... I had billions of sites, ranging from phone numbers to version numbers of everything.

    Why do people never be clear?
    It's not hard to do?

    You have a typo in your search term:

    O365 -- aka Microsoft "Office 365" with a capital "O")

    not

    0365 -- starting with zero, which you note is numeric).

    This entire thread, top to bottom, is full of acronyms, lacking elaboration. As most tech posts are.
