Windows 10: Having issues with xcopy skipping folders

on Windows 10.0.22631.4602. Plenty of ram, i7 cpu. On the C: drive ssd I have a personal folder "myfolder" and several subfolders off of it. These subfolders also have subfolders. I intend for the personal folder and ALL OF its subfolders to be copied in one command, as in "xcopy /s /e c:\myfolder." All of the folders have files - they are not empty.The problem is, one of the subfolders branched off a "myfolder" subfolder fails to copy.This is happening in more than one of myfolder's subfolders.I've tried various switch combinations, with no success.Can anyone advise.Thanks!

XCopy not working on Win10

Hi,

There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

@EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

Any suggestions are appreciated!

thanks,

joan

Any thoughts?

xCopy not working as intended

Hi Steve, I'm Benedict. I'm here to help you.

Perhaps the folders you are trying to copy are empty. Xcopy command won't normally copy the empty folders, you have to include the option "/e" to force xcopy to copy the empty folders.

For example: xcopy [source path] [destination path] /e

The message will still be "0 File(s) copied" if you actually don't have any files in the given source folder but the empty folders will be copied.

Please see if that helps.

Regards,
