What happened to the "Copy To" option in Windows 11 File Explorer?

Hello,

If you like, the tutorial below can add the "Copy To" context menu back.

I don't know if this applies but when I want to move or copy I open both sources in different windows and just drag and drop.

You obviously do not understand the problem. There was a "CopyTo" and "MoveTo" button that allowed you to copy or move files to NUMEROUS folders that have been accessed recently. Drag and drop has nothing to do with it.

I don't know if this applies but when I want to move or copy I open both sources in different windows and just drag and drop.

Microsoft removed these because they were too useful and the idea that people might want to copy or move files using a filemanager is outside of the tiny mental box called Microsoft. It is policy to remove or hide commonly used tools and menu options with each update in order to frustrate users and waste their time. But dont worry...Micorsoft added a bunch of new menu options that you dont want or need.

But - best solution: highlight filenames in file manager and click control + C to copy and then place the cursor in the directory you want to copy to and type Control + V to paste.

A Tip: supplement Explorer Search with VoidTools' 'Everything'. I've been using it for a few years now to check if I already have an mp3 in my Music Library. It's as fastasthis ... and I wonder why MS never bought it. Never had a problem with it - and the Search functions are myriad.
