I took a couple of screenshots on one PC this morning and when I tried to
copy them to a second PC Win 10 said I needed permission From Googling it
seems it was an issue in the early days of Win 10 but not more recently.

Anybody aware of this or know a cure? I am getting grief from both Win10
and Visual Studio 2022 at the moment, both are very pretty but have lost a
lot of functionality.

Have you shared the files? Otherwise, W10 is absolutely right to deny
access to the other PC.

Have you shared the folder you are trying to copy to? Otherwise, ...

..... and when you have done that, open the File Explorer on the
offending machine and click on "Network" on the left - and if your
folders / files dont show in there then they wont be visible to any
other machine.

Hi GB & A_T.

Yes, sharing set up and has been working fine with Win 8.1. Googling
revealed this used to be an issue in Win 10 but that was an early build so
wondered if anybody had seen it in an up to date version.

If you want help to sort this out, you'll need to supply much more detail.

Of course, there are walk-arounds, with a USB stick.

Visual Studio has always been a buggy pig. The IntelliJ IDEA family are
better, certainly for JAVA, Python. They do one for C#, called Rider,
superficially it is good, but I never really used it in anger.

Or if the project is small, try VSCode.

C# is a superb language, but the SDK environment always seems to be
wrong, requiring uninstalling and installing the SDK and what not.

Is your problem cut&paste over remote desktop?

If so see:

I have some persisting problems with Network Discovery without SMB 1.0.

But there's a simpler work-around which has yet to fail me: Network
locations.

Many thanks Pancho :-)

I think both the copying issue and the VS2022 issue may have been a
permissions point. I ran "Take Ownership" over all the directories and it
seems OK now.

It seems to me that programmers are now concentrating on prettying
software up. Perhaps the first example was the Ribbon in Office - takes up
a massive chunk of vertical space just when screens were becoming shorter.
eM Client times out on Yahoo accounts but the programmers won't add
adjustable timing, nor will they add the automatic white listing of people
in the address book, but they do offer a dozen "schemes" and a scheme
editor. VS2022 has popups all over the place that cover up my code and no
longer allows the use of the Fixedsys font. I have also found that if I
compile a dll in VS2008 I can compile and be using it while VS2022 is
deciding whether to show another popup or go for a holiday!

Thanks again!
