Windows 10 Pro Copy & Paste Gives "Your organization does not allow you to place this file here"

This is my personal computer running Windows 10 Pro fully updated.

In trying to setup a folder sync I found I am not able to paste files in a folder in AppData under my user account.

I also found this to be true in the root of my user folder.

I have not configured any group policy or local security policy and have looked through both and see all are "Not configured"

The only account on this machine is my personal Outlook email account, there is no "organization"

I've seen several other similar questions asked here, none seemed to resolve or address how to resolve in Pro.

I'm digging into this further but hoping for some help here.

Edit: I can create new folders and create new documents but not able to paste within folders. I can't paste into OneDrive either, I just tried creating a new folder in my OneDrive and pasting another folder into is and get the same message.

Windows 10 Pro Copy & Paste Gives "Your organization does not allow you to place this file here"

I do have 365 Family installed, but I don't have this issue with my other laptop it's also installed on which is Windows 11 Home.

Since I can't add a custom location to OneDrive, I'm trying to sync my Minecraft worlds folder to a folder within OneDrive and vice versa.

I set this up fine on my W11 machine, but in going to the W10P machine found I'm unable to paste into folders.

In playing around a little more, it almost seems like a restriction on the folders/files I'm trying to sync. I can't copy & paste them anywhere, including in Documents, but I can copy a folder in Documents and paste it into a New Folder in Documents just fine.

Still looking into things, I see a new right click context menu entry I've never noticed before but gives me an error when clicking on Personal







Edit: I know see moving up a couple levels in the directory from the folders I'm trying to copy that the folders have a shortcut arrow. Not sure why as it's a folder and not a shortcut, but another folder without I was able to copy and paste fine.

I'm going to try removing Minecraft, deleting the folder and reinstalling.
